Čičava Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Vranov nad Topľou, Slovakia
The castle remains occupy a defensive position on a promontory with steep slopes on three sides and a gentler approach from the north.
Hungarian King Stephen V granted the lands to his equerry Reynold in 1270, leading to the castle construction in the early 14th century.
The castle functioned as a center for regional administration, with county meetings held within its walls during the Báthori family ownership.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through marked trails, and renovation work continues under the guidance of Pro futuro hradu Čičva association.
The cylindrical tower, the oldest structure of the castle, served both as a watchtower controlling routes through Ondava valley towards Poland.
