Leányvár, Medieval castle ruin in Florești, Romania.

The remaining stone walls of Leányvár stand on elevated ground, offering a view of the surrounding Cluj County landscape and nearby settlements.

The castle served as a crucial defensive structure in the medieval Transylvanian fortification network, protecting important trade routes and local communities.

Romanian scholars study the architectural elements of Leányvár to understand the construction methods and defensive strategies of medieval Transylvanian fortifications.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked paths from Florești center, with parking available near the base of the hill.
