Vajdahunyad Castle is wildly unlike any of the ancient medieval stone castles I photographed on my recent trip to Ireland. This castle was created out of cardboard and wood in 1896 as part of the Hungarian Millennial Exhibition celebrating 1000 years since the Hungarian Conquest.

The complex of buildings, designed by architect Ignác Alpár, showcased a variety of Hungarian architectural styles. The attraction was to be temporary, but it was so popular that it was later renovated as a permanent structure.

The main part of the castle is taken up by the Museum of Hungarian Agriculture, the biggest agricultural museum in Europe.
