Add to collection Suggest a change

Lapikus, Medieval castle ruins in Plaveč, Czech Republic.

The stone fortification stands on an elevated position with four remaining towers and multiple window openings visible in the south tower structure.

First documented in 1294, the castle served as a strategic point to guard trade routes along the valleys of Poprad and Torysa towards Poland.

The structure represents medieval Czech defensive architecture and received official recognition as a cultural monument by the Ministry of Culture.

Visitors can reach the ruins by following marked hiking trails from Plaveč village, with the south tower offering the most complete structural remains.

The name Lapikus connects to the Polovtsians, nomadic tribes who served Hungarian kings and protected the Polish border during medieval times.
