Welcome on the homepage of the Hungarian Castle Archives Foundation!

We have been collecting and methodized the data of hungarian castles, eathwork forts and fortified churches for many years.
A part of the assembled pictures and drawings is on show on the site www.varak.hu.

There is still need to carry out huge amount of research in libraries and archives in order to become more precise and reliable this constantly increasing collection.
Besides we intend to visit and take photos of castles, ruins and fortified churches as many as possible.
We purposed to localize the accurate geographical positions of the remains of castles.

We want to help with publishing the Hungarian Castle Encyclopadia of which manuscript is edited and written by Dr. Dénes József.
Some sample pages of the Encyclopadia are on show on this homepage.

Supposing we will have the possibility we want to support the publishing of essaies on research of castles.

Up till now we have done the exploration of the ground and maintaining of the homepage at our own charge. But since we have been researchig the castles of historical Hungary the expenses are constantly increasing. That is why we need the subsidies of general public and institutes.

We established the Hungarian Castle Archives Foundation to ensure each giver that the subsidies will be expended as effectively as possible and none but to reach the aims of the Foundation.

If you liked that the collection of data of this important part of our history and culture can be continued and the collection could be published, please contribute to absorbe the cost of castle research.
