Castle of Egervár, Medieval castle in Egervár, Hungary
The Castle of Egervár stands atop a hill with stone walls, towers, and fortifications that form a square-shaped defensive structure.
The castle gained military importance during the 16th century when it successfully repelled a Turkish army of 35,000 soldiers with only 2,300 defenders.
The castle houses multiple exhibitions in its museums, including historical artifacts, ancient vases, and traditional Hungarian military equipment.
Visitors can explore the underground cellars through guided tours that explain the defensive systems and military strategies used throughout centuries.
The castle incorporates both Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements, featuring a residential tower in its northwestern corner dating from the 14th century.
