Szerencs Castle, Renaissance castle in Szerencs, Hungary.

The castle features a three-storey gate tower, thick protective walls, and an inner yard surrounded by multiple chambers and defensive fortifications.

Ferenc Némethy constructed the castle in 1558 using materials from an old abbey, creating a strategic fortification against Ottoman threats in the Tokaj region.

The Zemplén Museum inside the castle presents exhibitions about Zsigmond Rákóczi, who supported the translation of the Bible of Vizsoly in the 17th century.

Located 35 kilometers from Miskolc and 205 kilometers from Budapest, the castle houses a youth hostel and cultural center for visitors.

The fortress took advantage of surrounding swampy terrain for natural defense, with a single access point marked by a drawbridge.
