Castle of Diósgyőr, Medieval castle in Miskolc, Hungary
The Castle of Diósgyőr stands on a rock hill rising from the Szinva stream valley, featuring four towers and a central courtyard within its walls.
King Louis the Great transformed the castle in 1364 by attaching substantial estates, making it one of the most important fortresses in medieval Hungary.
The castle maintains medieval traditions through regular tournaments, historical reenactments, and the annual Kaláka Folk Festival held within its grounds.
Visitors can explore the castle through guided tours, mint commemorative coins in the northwestern tower, and view Central Europe's largest waxworks exhibition.
The castle contains the largest great hall from medieval Central Europe, demonstrating the architectural capabilities of 14th-century Hungarian builders.
