Castle Slanec
Slanec, Slovakia, Slovakia
Castle Slanec near the town of Slanec in eastern Slovakia is a 13th-century Gothic fortress built by the Aba family around 1270-1281 to guard trade routes and salt stores, first mentioned in 1281 during King Ladislaus IV's siege. It passed through noble families like the Drugeths—who added a central cylindrical tower in the 14th century—the Lossonczys with late-Gothic reconstructions in 1521-1523, and Forgáchs who rebuilt the tower in 1815 after fires during Thököly's 1679 uprising left it ruined. Today, remnants including the prominent three-story Nebojsa tower, Gothic arched windows, and walls attract hikers amid the Slovak Ore Mountains landscape.
