Trip to the Korlat Castle

A medieval castle ruin was built in the mid-13th century. As a royal castle it protected the western frontier of the Kingdom of Hungary.

There are only ruins nowadays. Trees, so lovely in cities, have devastated walls and towers.

The last walls in the courtyard.

There are remains of the tower on the top of the castle area.

There is one technical attraction nearby. The first Slovakia wind-power station. The four big wind roses are visible from the castle.
