Plavecky Castle
Plavecké Podhradie, Slovakia, Slovakia
Plavecký Castle in Plavecké Podhradie, western Slovakia, was built in the mid-13th century by King Béla IV of Hungary as a royal frontier fortress on Pohanská Hill in the Little Carpathians to guard trade routes and borders. First mentioned during Hungarian-Czech wars in 1273, it passed through noble hands like Matthew III Csák and Stibor of Stiboricz before Renaissance rebuilding in the 16th century added courtyards, bastions, and fortifications under owners including the Pálffys. Destroyed by imperial forces in 1706-1707 during the Rákóczi uprising against Habsburgs, its Gothic-Renaissance ruins now offer hiking trails with scenic views.
