Ostrý Kameň Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Trnava District, Slovakia
The castle stands on a hill near Buková village, with remaining fortification walls and a bastion overlooking the Malé Karpaty Mountains.
Built in the 13th century, the castle functioned as a royal border fortress protecting the trade route between Buda and Prague.
The castle architecture demonstrates medieval military engineering with its strategic positioning, square gate tower, and elevated entrance design.
Visitors can reach the castle by following yellow hiking marks from the water reservoir to Brezinka cottage, then switching to red marks.
The castle grounds contain specific plant species that indicate the ecological value of this mountain location in western Slovakia.
