Vushtrri Castle, Medieval fortress in Vushtrri, Kosovo.

The castle features a central tower with walls measuring 3 meters in thickness and incorporates defensive elements like machicolation holes throughout its structure.

The fortress served as the residence of despot Đurađ Branković from 1427 to 1456 and maintains connections to the noble Vojinović family of the 14th century.

The structure holds three significant designations: Cultural Monument of Exceptional Importance, Protected Cultural Monument in Serbia, and Cultural Heritage Monument of Kosovo.

The castle entrance was positioned on the upper floor, accessible only through removable wooden stairs, enhancing its defensive capabilities during medieval times.

The square-shaped fortress contains no basement entrance, with the tower remaining as the primary surviving element of the original medieval construction.
