Čierny Castle, Castle ruin in Zlatno, Slovakia.

The stone remains of Čierny Castle stand on a wooded hill in the Tribeč mountains, revealing sections of external walls and defensive moats.

Built between the 13th and 14th centuries, Čierny Castle protected gold mining areas until its decline at the beginning of the 15th century.

Archaeological excavations at Čierny Castle provide evidence of medieval military architecture and defense systems used in the Tekov region of Slovakia.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following a marked trail from Zlatno village, with the final 30-minute section requiring an uphill walk.

The castle's location near the Bison Game Preserve allows visitors to combine historical exploration with wildlife observation of European bison.
