Milengrad, Medieval castle in Budinščina, Croatia
The stone fortress sits atop a 430-meter cliff, featuring defensive walls that extend along the rocky outcrop near Grtovec village.
Built around 1300 during King Béla IV's reign, Milengrad served as a strategic fortification following the Mongol invasion of 1241.
The castle grounds host regional events where visitors experience Croatian traditions through local food preparations and craft demonstrations.
Access to Milengrad requires driving through winding roads from Budinščina, with the final approach involving a forest path suitable for walking.
The castle walls merge with natural rock formations, creating an integrated structure between human architecture and geological features.
