Benevár, Medieval castle ruins in Mátrafüred, Hungary.
The stone remains of Benevár stand at 470 meters elevation between Somor and Csatorna streams in the Mátra Mountains north of Mátrafüred.
Archaeological findings and coins from King Béla III indicate that the construction of Benevár castle took place at the end of the 12th century.
The excavation works revealed numerous pottery pieces from the 13th and 14th centuries, including a glass fragment decorated with Arabic inscriptions.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following the blue-marked trail that starts in Mátrafüred and leads through the mountain paths.
The initial archaeological research of Benevár by Kabos Kandra in 1890 established its importance in Hungarian and Central European castle studies.
