Castle, Cultural Heritage château in Borša, Slovakia.

The château stands near the Slovak-Hungarian border, featuring a symmetrical design with distinct wings and architectural elements from different periods.

Built after the 13th-century Tatar invasion under King Belo IV, the structure underwent modifications in the late 16th century becoming a castle-like mansion.

The castle maintains deep connections to Hungarian nobility as the birthplace of Francis II Rákóczi, who led the Hungarian uprising against Habsburg rule.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds throughout the year, with guided tours available in multiple languages through prior arrangement at the entrance.

The castle combines architectural elements from multiple centuries, incorporating both defensive features and residential components in its current structure.
