Zborov Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Bardejov District, Slovakia.

Zborov Castle is a fortress ruin standing on a hilltop with Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements mixed throughout its preserved walls and defensive structures. The remains show how construction and rebuilding continued over several centuries.

The fortress was founded around 1270 by Otto Biberstein to protect trade routes between the Kingdom of Hungary and Poland. In 1684, imperial forces destroyed it, ending its role as a military stronghold.

The castle's alternative name, Makovica, comes from the Makovica estate it headed; the village below is Zborov. A local legend says the devil who moved the building stones was walled up in the highest tower, where his horns can still be seen. The ruin is listed in the National Cultural Heritage list of the Monuments Board of the Slovak Republic.

From the bridge just past the Zborov village sign, turn right off the main Bardejov–Zborov road; the climb to the castle takes ten to fifteen minutes. A second approach starts from Dlhá Lúka, a northern rural borough of Bardejov. Tourist information is available in the village at Obrancov Mieru 10.

A local legend claims that stones moved on their own to create the fortress during its construction. This tale reveals how the community passed down explanations for the site's mysterious origins.
