Tokaj Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Tokaj, Hungary.

The stone remains of Tokaj Castle stand at the junction of Bodrog and Tisza rivers, highlighting its former strategic position in medieval Hungary.

The original wooden fortress was destroyed during the Mongol invasion, replaced by a stone castle in the 14th century under the Diósgyőr estate administration.

The castle served as a crucial defense point for the renowned Tokaj wine region, protecting trade routes and local vineyards during the medieval period.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a marked hiking trail starting from Tokaj town center, offering views of the surrounding wine country.

Francis II Rákóczi ordered the demolition of this fortress in 1705, marking the end of its military significance in Hungarian border defense.
