Blatnica Castle, Medieval castle ruins in District of Martin, Slovakia
The stone fortification stands on a limestone ridge separating the Gaderská dolina valley from the Turčianska kotlina basin in northern Slovakia.
Built in the 13th century to protect a trade route from Nitra, the castle later expanded under the Révay family who acquired it in 1540.
The castle ruins represent the architectural evolution of Slovak defensive structures, reflecting changes in military engineering through different centuries.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following a marked yellow trail from Blatnica village through Gaderská dolina valley in about twenty minutes.
The fortress walls contain preserved elements of Gothic architecture, including remnants of domes and a barbican within the dense forest setting.
