Hajnáčka Castle, Gothic castle ruin in Rimavská Sobota District, Slovakia.
The stone walls of Hajnáčka Castle stand at 355 meters above sea level, with ancient stairs carved directly into the rock foundation.
Built around 1300 as a royal fortification, the castle experienced multiple Turkish occupations before burning down completely in 1703.
The fortress represents medieval Slovak defensive architecture, marking the historical boundary between nobility gatherings and regional governance.
Visitors can reach the castle remains through a gentle uphill path, requiring approximately one hour to explore the entire site.
The castle hill offers views of Kostná Valley, where scientists discovered early Tertiary bones of tapirs, mastodons, and rhinos.
