Püspökvár, Episcopal castle in Győr, Hungary.
The four-story residential tower contains a Gothic chapel with an octagonal apsis and eight Gothic niches on each side of the vaulted entrance hall.
Following extensive fortification between 1561 and 1575 by Italian architect Pietro Ferrabosco, the Turks captured the castle in 1594 but lost control in 1598.
The castle includes a memorial exhibition dedicated to Bishop Vilmos Apor and houses religious artifacts in the Gothic chapel and ceremonial rooms.
Located at the meeting point of Mosoni-Duna and Rába rivers, the castle offers guided tours through its medieval chambers and underground fortifications.
The castle features a narrow stairway in the residential tower leading to an ancient sentinel post that monitored river traffic.
