Likava, Gothic castle ruin in Likavka, Slovakia
The stone walls of Likava Castle stand on a rocky hill at 630 meters elevation, offering views across the Vah River valley.
Built around 1400 as a royal guardian fortress, Likava Castle protected important trade routes connecting Hungary with Poland through the Vah River valley.
The castle architecture incorporates Gothic elements from medieval Slovakia, including a chapel and residential wings arranged in a U-shape formation.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through guided tours during summer months, with parking facilities available near the Likavka bus stop.
The castle contained some of the earliest glass windows in Slovakia, produced by local glassworks during the Middle Ages.
