Fejérkő vára

The ruins of Fejérkő Castle stand on a hilltop, featuring remaining walls of the northern palace wing and a preserved cistern system.

Built in the second half of the 13th century, the castle suffered destruction by fire before the mid-14th century and was never fully reconstructed.

Archaeological excavations in 2004-2005 revealed artifacts including cannonballs, ceramic fragments, and coins from King Vladislaus I's period.

The castle ruins are best visited during late autumn or early spring when vegetation does not obscure the remaining structural elements.

The castle's name, Fejérkő, derives from the rare white limestone used in its construction, which was quarried from the surrounding area.
