Súľovský hrad, Medieval castle ruins in Súľov Mountains, Slovakia.

The castle complex consists of upper and lower sections built on limestone cliffs, connected through a tunnel carved into the rock formation.

Constructed during the 15th century by Hussite forces, the castle suffered major destruction from an earthquake in 1703 and was never rebuilt.

The castle region maintains strong connections to Slovak folklore, with local celebrations and traditional events held in the village of Súľov-Hradná.

Visitors reach the castle via marked hiking trails from Súľov-Hradná village, with a challenging ascent covering 300 meters in elevation difference.

The fortress stands among unusual rock formations of Súľovské skaly, featuring towers, needles, and a 13-meter tall natural rock window called Goticka brana.
