Castle of Eger, Medieval castle ruin in Eger, Hungary.
The Castle of Eger sits on a rocky hill in the city center, featuring stone walls, fortifications, and remaining structures of a Gothic palace.
During the 1552 siege, 2,100 Hungarian defenders successfully protected the castle against 40,000 Ottoman soldiers in a decisive military engagement.
The castle houses multiple exhibition spaces within the Dobó István Castle Museum, displaying artifacts and collections related to medieval Hungarian military history.
The castle opens daily except Mondays from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM in summer and 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in winter, with entrance fees of 3600 HUF.
The Bishop's Palace stands as the sole remaining medieval structure within the castle complex after Austrian forces detonated explosives in 1701.
