Castle of Csővár, Medieval castle ruins in Csővár, Hungary.
Castle of Csővár is a ruin perched on a hilltop in Pest County, displaying remaining stone walls and foundations that once formed a medieval defensive structure. The surviving elements offer visitors a tangible sense of the fortress's original layout and scale.
The fortress was built in the 13th century as part of Hungary's medieval defensive network. It served as a strategic stronghold through various conflicts, particularly during the campaigns against Ottoman forces.
The castle ruins represent a significant example of medieval Hungarian military architecture and serve as a testament to the region's feudal history.
Reaching the ruins requires a moderate uphill walk from the village of Csővár, where parking is available below. The path to the site is somewhat natural and demands careful footing on uneven ground.
Archaeological digs at the site have uncovered evidence of human occupation stretching back to prehistoric times. This reveals that the hilltop was inhabited long before the castle's construction.
