Banská Bystrica Castle, Medieval castle complex in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia.
The castle encompasses fortified walls with three preserved towers, a Gothic parish church, and Matthias House within its defensive perimeter.
The initial fortifications emerged during the 1440s conflicts for the Hungarian crown, following the death of Albrecht Habsburg in 1439.
The Church of Assumption houses a Gothic triptych from the 15th century and a metal baptistry dated 1475 within its decorated interior.
The renovated barbican section of the castle now contains administrative offices and a café for visitors to the complex.
The entrance tower features three large bells, with the largest weighing 9900 kilograms and serving as a testament to medieval engineering.
