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.
