Castle tourism in Miklósvár

Summary/Abstract: Count Tibor Kálnoky, descendant of Transylvanian aristocrats, returned after 50 years exile and has been working to introduce Transylvania to the world in a special way, while also preserving the region's architectural heritage. Kálnoky inspired Prince Charles to restore old farmhouses in the area as well, and he is running two of HRH’s guesthouses in two different locations by now, where the idea is also to create harmony with nature and simplicity with comfort. All accommodations have been restored and furnished with authentic antiques and textiles from the region. According to the Prince of Wales, “Transylvania is the last corner of Europe where you see true sustainability and complete resilience”. Two dozen local residents are employed all year round from these villages, reviving traditional building crafts and styles, improving the image of Transylvania as a travel destination, convincing locals to preserve their heritage and sensitizing guests on living in harmony with the environment.
