Castle of Borsod, Medieval castle ruins in Edelény, Hungary
The Castle of Borsod stands atop an elevated area in northern Hungary, featuring remnants of defensive walls and structural foundations from medieval times.
Constructed in the 11th century, the castle served as an administrative center and gave its name to Borsod County, derived from its first steward Bors.
The castle grounds contain archaeological findings that demonstrate the medieval Hungarian architectural techniques and defensive fortification methods of the period.
