Castle of Nógrád, Medieval castle ruin in Nógrád, Hungary.
The stone fortification stands on a hill, featuring remaining walls and a corner tower that rises above the Hungarian countryside.
The castle, first documented in the 11th century as the estate of the Bishop of Vác, served as a strategic military stronghold until its destruction.
The annual Nógrád Castle Games in June present battle reenactments, traditional performances, craft workshops, and regional Hungarian food specialties.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by car from Budapest, with designated parking areas and marked hiking trails leading to the entrance.
A lightning strike on the powder magazine caused an explosion that marked the end of the castle's military function in the region.
