Čabraď Castle, Medieval castle ruins in District of Veľký Krtíš, Slovakia.

The castle stands at 500 meters elevation on a hilltop, featuring stone walls, foundations, and portions of the original defensive tower.

Built in 1276 as Litava Castle, this fortress protected the routes leading to northern Hungarian mining towns during the medieval period.

The castle structure incorporates Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements, reflecting the evolution of defensive construction methods through centuries.

Visitors can reach the castle through marked hiking trails starting from designated parking areas in the nearby village of Čabradský Vrbovok.

Italian architect G. Ferrari led substantial fortification efforts in 1585, strengthening the castle's defenses against Ottoman military campaigns.
