The remaining stone walls and window frames of Biely Kameň castle stand on a forested hill above the town at 48.261111 latitude and 17.196389 longitude.
Construction of the castle began in the early 1300s as a fortified residence for Count Abraham I until Turkish troops destroyed it in the 17th century.
