During more than a century and a half, Hunedoara produced the steel with which large part of Romania’s infrastructure was built, whether we are talking about roads, bridges or buildings of all kinds. Steel industry – Hunedoara was then living its glory as a “socialist labor hero”. Nothing – except The Industry – seemed to matter for the strategists of those times. Flanked by industrial buildings, between all kinds of thistles, Corvin Castle was thrown into oblivion. No one took care of promoting Hunedoara as a tourist destination. To be fair, the pollution related to the production of 3.5 million tons of rolled products per year was a serious impediment.

Starting in 2000, the industrial area of the city was filled with ruins and the surroundings of the Castle were no exception. The rescue would come from a local investor, a family of two Hunedoara born and raised people, who embraced capitalism since the early 1990, and, starting in 2017, they began the Werk Hotel Tourist Project. It is our pleasure to invite you to visit our hotel and see for yourself what can be achieved when money is combined with a sea of courage and a mountain of soul that inspires and energizes you!
