Brežnjička utvrda, Medieval castle ruins in Berzence, Hungary.

Brežnjička utvrda is a medieval castle ruin on elevated ground near Berzence with surviving walls and foundations. The remains display military architectural features from different construction periods spanning several centuries.

The castle changed hands several times until Turkish forces conquered it in 1566 following the Fall of Szigetvár. Rebuilding efforts continued afterward, modifying the structure over subsequent decades.

The castle's name appears in 1473 records as "castellum et fortelitium Berzencze", and the village below still carries the Hungarian form Berzence. Its garrison was recorded at 379 men in the 1568–1569 Turkish payroll and 349 at the 1618 refortification, figures that show how many soldiers lived on this hill.

The ruins are accessible on foot via marked trails from Berzence town center, with free parking available nearby. Wear sturdy shoes since the ground is uneven and paths cross through grassy areas.

Only a round brick tower and traces of the former moat survive today. In 1566, after Szigetvár fell, the castle guard fled and the Ottomans took Berzence at once, stationing 379 men there by the 1568–1569 payroll; in 1618 the garrison still numbered 349.
