Vajdahunyad Castle

Vajdahunyad Castle is located in the City Park of Budapest, Hungary. Built in 1896 on Szechenyi Island as part of the Millennial Exhibition celebration, the castle is accessible by four bridges. The buildings were modeled after famous buildings erected in Hungary. It was meant to be temporary and was originally built of cardboard and wood, but the citizens enjoyed the complex, so it was reconstructed from 1904-08 with permanent materials. The complex consists of several buildings with various architectural designs from the Middle Ages to the 18th century meant to be displayed in one composite castle. The Romanesque-style buildings and structures from the 11th-13th century include Vajdahunyad Castle, the Chapel of Jak, an Auditory, the 37-meter-tall Tower of Torture, the Tompa Tower, the Lion Bridge, the Bastion Tower of Segevar, and more. Gothic architecture from the 14th-15th centuries is also seen in Vajdahunyad Castle, which is a replica of what many believe was Count Dracula’s home. The Baroque palace represents Renaissance and Baroque architecture from the 16th-18th centuries and includes a cupola over the main entrance. The museum has eight permanent exhibitions, and the property also serves as a venue for festivals and more. The structures boast stained glass windows, painted vaulted ceilings, wooden beams, marble staircases, and medieval turrets. Vajdahunyad Castle currently serves as the Museum of Hungarian Agriculture.

VAJDAHUNYAD CASTLE - HUNGARY

Ez még mindig nem tiszta nekem... egyik se a kettőből.

Segítsetek kinyomozni!

Két kérdésem van a városligeti Vajdahunyadvárral kapcsolatban: 

(1) Vajon kit ábrázolhat ez a szobor a jáki kápolna másolatán?  Volt, aki Márkot írta, hogy ő van oroszlánnal ábrázolva. Volt, aki Sámsont, aki ugye az oroszlánnal viaskodott. (A jáki templom eredetijén egyébként egy Sámson ábrázolás látható, de az egy másik szobor.) De akkor nincs magyarázat arra az extra fejre a köpönyeg alatt. Volt, aki meg pont a köpönyeg és a másik fej alapján azt tippelte, hogy Szent Márton, aki megosztja köpönyegét a szegény emberrel (koldussal). De akkor meg az oroszlánra nincs magyarázat. Szóval, mi a szösz lehet ez a kompozíció?

(2) Vajon mely Árpád-házi uralkodóink sorakoznak a gótikus épületrész tondóin, az erkély felett? Itt a vonatkozó lap: https://www.kozterkep.hu/41902/a-vajdahunyadvar-tondoi-arpad-hazi-uralkodok Hat tondó, hat uralkodó, de vajon melyik melyik?
