Abstract
This is an overview of a study of 100 castle gardens in Transylvania. The research has been undertaken by a substantial number of students, teachers and professionals in the Faculty of Landscape Architecture and Urbanism Budapest, Szent István University. The object was to explore and document the surviving parts of the gardens and estates of the chosen locations while evidence still exists, to complete a missing chapter in European garden history. All the available historic material was assembled, site surveys completed and a full record compiled. The result is a comprehensive overview of 400 years of garden history in the region, relating them to wider historical trends in the area and human use of the wider landscape. Also it acts as an inventory of the current state of the gardens, enabling renewal and maintenance plans to be put in place. The research won the Europa Nostra Prize in 2014.
