Sklabiňa Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Sklabinský Podzámok, Slovakia.

The castle stands on a forested hill with surviving sections including Gothic chapel vaults, tower remnants, palace structures, and defensive walls.

Originally constructed between 1308 and 1321 on earlier fort foundations, the castle served as the administrative center of Turiec County until 1850.

The fortress represents medieval Slovak architecture through its preserved Gothic elements and Renaissance modifications added by the Revay family.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a marked path from Sklabinský Podzámok village, with parking facilities at the base.

The castle contains a partially restored watchtower that currently functions as a storage space for maintenance equipment used by local preservation groups.
