history

The history of Ineu is closely linked to the castle, which was first mentioned in 1295. At the time of the Kingdom of Hungary, the castle was the center of a great feudal rule, which at times included 51 villages. After the Battle of Mohács , the place became part of the Principality of Transylvania in 1541 . In 1566 the Turks conquered Ineu. In 1595 Transylvania and in 1599 the Wallachian prince Mihai Viteazul briefly took control of the place before it became part of Transylvania again. By the Treaty of Karlowitz Ineu came to Austria-Hungary in 1699 . After Ineu was no longer near the border due to the Peace of Passarowitz (1718), it lost its importance; the castle fell into disrepair. In the 19th century, Ineu developed into a local economic center. In 1849 the place was occupied by Russian troops during the Hungarian Revolution . In 1870 the castle was restored in neoclassical style. In 1877 Ineu was connected to the railway network. After the First World War it came to Romania.
