Levice Castle
Levice, Slovakia, Slovakia
Levice Castle in Levice, Slovakia, is a Gothic ruin built in the late 13th century on a volcanic rocky hill above the marshy Hron River valley to guard trade routes to central Slovakia's mining towns. First mentioned in 1318 under powerful lord Matúš Čák, it grew with a rectangular palace, outer bailey, towers, and Renaissance bastions added in the 16th century against Turkish threats, enduring sieges in 1544, 1578, and 1663 before recapture in the Battle of Levice. Its strategic defenses included moats, drawbridges, and a captain's house, but now preserved as inaccessible ruins highlighting medieval-to-baroque fortifications.
