Abaúj Castle, Medieval hillfort in Abaújvár, Hungary.
The stone walls and earthen ramparts of Abaúj Castle stand atop a strategic hill overlooking the northeastern Hungarian border region near Slovakia.
King Samuel Aba established this fortification between 1038 and 1044, creating an administrative center that protected trade routes between the Baltic and Balkan regions.
The Battle of Rozgony in 1312 left eight hundred knights buried within the castle grounds, making it a significant site for Hungarian medieval military history.
The castle ruins remain accessible through marked paths from the village of Abaújvár, located 72 kilometers northeast of Miskolc and 18 kilometers south of Košice.
Local residents dismantled sections of the castle during the 1700s to construct their homes, incorporating medieval stones into newer buildings throughout the village.
