Corunca: Churches, Castle and Routes for Planning Your Trip

A medieval castle is located in the center of the settlement. The ruins of Tholdalagi Castle are located within the municipality of Corunca. Tholdalagi Castle is said to have been built around 1830 according to plans by Joseph Weixlbraun. The Tholdalagi family crypt in Corunca is associated with the year 1830 as a historical monument. The medieval castle is located in the center of the settlement, while the ruins of Tholdalagi Castle are located within the municipality. This spatial distinction is relevant when planning a trip between the town center and the municipal area.

The wooden entrance gate of the church in Corunca bears a Latin inscription and is dated to 1710. The Reformed Church of Corunca was built between 1769 and 1778. The Orthodox Church of Corunca was built in 1912 and therefore dates from a later period than the gate and the Reformed Church. The present-day church in Corunca was built over the ruins of an older church. For those interested in culture, the inscription, construction dates and an older church building therefore provide specific historical topics in Corunca.
