How did Count Sandorf manage to escape from the castle, and what does Jules Verne know about this adventure
According to the novel by Jules Verne, in 1867, Mathias Sandorf was preparing a conspiracy with two fellow countrymen for the secession of Hungary from the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. The plot was discovered, and Mathias and his accomplices were captured, convicted and imprisoned in the Castle of Pazin, awaiting execution of the death sentence. The three, however, managed to escape from the castle’s prison down to the depths of the Cave of Pazin, upon which the castle stands. Witness this high-adrenaline escape and celebrate with a typical peasant dinner of the time in the company of the cheerful cook Marie.
The experience includes:
Duration: 2-3 hours
Organization: Museum of Pazin
Pazin
Pazin is often called the “heart of Istria,” mostly because of its central position on the Peninsula. It is also the administrative centre of Istria County. The famous French writer Jules Verne was inspired by the 130-meter-deep cliff in Pazin, which he included in his novel Mathias Sandorf.
