Amadé-vár, Medieval castle ruins in Gönc, Hungary.
The stone remains of Amadé-vár stand on Nagy-Amadé hill at 650 meters elevation, featuring fragments of an ancient tower and an elliptical moat.
Built between 1271 and 1288, the castle served as a stronghold for Amadeus Aba until his sons lost it to King Charles Robert following the Battle of Rozgony.
The fortress provided shelter to exiled Polish King Ulászló I between 1306 and 1333, strengthening Hungarian-Polish relations during medieval times.
Visitors can reach the ruins through an 8-kilometer red cross hiking trail from Gönc or via a 6-kilometer path from Telkibánya through Potácsháza.
The castle disappeared from historical records after 1428 and remained undocumented until the 18th century when it reappeared in geographical descriptions.
