Castle of Döbrönte, Medieval castle ruins near Pápa, Hungary.
The castle remains stand on a rocky edge with walls reaching up to 2 meters thick, featuring window openings from different construction periods.
King Lajos I authorized Benedek Himfi, a Bulgarian viceroy, to construct the castle between 1367 and 1374 as a command fortress.
The castle name Szarvaskő, meaning Deer-stone, connects to the Himfy family coat of arms which depicts a deer in its design.
The ruins maintain sections of the inner castle walls and outdoor fortification structures, accessible for exploration near the village of Döbrönte.
German settlers in 1761 used stones from the castle ruins to build their houses, leading to further alterations of the original structure.
