It's located in the center of Carei and it's a must see if you are in the area. There is a beautiful park next to it where you can spend some time on a sunny day and the castle is also worth admiring. The rooms are nicely decorated and furnished. It also hosts some temporary exhibitions.

ORADEA MEDIAEVAL FORTRESS HISTORY AND EVENTS WITNESSING THE PASSAGE OF TIME If nowadays we can hear about history in school and see it in museums, this is the best place to feel it. The fortress has witnessed the passage of time and continues to keep its old charm. It tells everlasting stories and passes on to its visitors some of the history it knows. The Fortress of Oradea is nowadays the living proof of those historical times and it continues to remind everyone of what it used to represent. Also, it is one of the symbols of the city along Crișul Repede river and the heart of its cultural events. LIVING HISTORY! The Mediaeval music concerts held here will take you back to an atmosphere of already forgotten times, while fighting demonstrations and guided tours accompanied by weapon and armour presentations will steal your attention. The Fortress is no longer literally under siege, but still there are many tourists and local people visiting it, our of a wish to live a bit of real history. Here are some of the new functions of the Fortress: - the City Museum - the Museum of Bread - the Bakery, dating more than 3 centuries back - cafés - traditional restaurants

The museum has a minimal entrance fee that opens the medieval world and its charm to the modern museum-goer. My kids loved visiting the textile and craft club that demonstrated the entire process of weaving on an ancient loom. The artisan showed them how the wool looks after shearing and treating, then how to dye it, spin it on a spindle into yarn, and then weave a rug on the loom. Local artisans gather once a week for a craft club to teach and hone their skills in these ancient cultural arts and crafts. Handmade jewelry, scarves, ponchos, crocheted dolls, stuffed animals, and coloring books with arts and crafts information are available for purchase. Great way to support local culture and traditions!
