Buják Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Nógrád County, Hungary
The stone fortification rises on a three-hundred-meter peak, surrounded by dense forest hills and offering views across the Pásztó District.
Built after the Mongol invasion, the castle first appeared in records in 1303 and underwent multiple sieges before its final destruction by Turkish forces in 1666.
The castle remains stand as a testament to Hungarian defensive architecture, reflecting the strategic military engineering methods of medieval Hungarian fortifications.
Visitors can reach the ruins through marked hiking trails connecting to the Sasbérc Lookout Tower, with limited facilities available at the site.
Near the castle stands a five-meter-tall sessile oak cross, erected to mark the 52nd International Eucharistic Congress.
