Castle of Eger, Castle replica and filming location in Pilisborosjenő, Hungary
The Castle of Eger replica stands among the hills of Pilisborosjenő, presenting architectural elements that mirror the original thirteenth-century fortress design.
The structure gained recognition as the primary filming location for the 1968 production 'Stars of Eger', which depicts the castle's defense against Ottoman forces.
This replica honors the original Castle of Eger's legacy, where Hungarian defenders successfully resisted Turkish invaders during the significant 1552 siege.
Visitors can reach the castle through hiking trails in the Pilis hills, approximately 15 kilometers north of Budapest's city center.
The replica ruins maintain their cinematic purpose while providing an educational venue about Hungarian military architecture and defensive strategies.
