Kežmarok Castle, Medieval castle in Kežmarok, Slovakia.
Kežmarok Castle is a medieval fortress in the town of Kežmarok with sturdy walls, corner bastions, and Renaissance architectural features. Inside, an inner courtyard provides access to decorated halls and rooms with painted details.
The fortress first appeared in records in 1463 and served different noble families as their seat until the city took ownership in 1702. This long history reflects changing power dynamics and the site's importance to the region.
The castle now houses a museum displaying collections that document how the town developed over time. Visitors can learn about daily life and traditions that shaped this region.
Visit on weekdays when fewer people are around, making it easier to explore the rooms and courtyards at your own pace. Wear sturdy shoes since there are stairs and uneven surfaces throughout the building.
The fortress is connected to Princess Beata Laská, who lived here in the late 1500s and was known for her adventures exploring nearby mountains. Her story remains part of the castle's identity and draws the attention of visitors.
