Breznica Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Tekovská Breznica, Slovakia.
The stone remains of Breznica Castle stand on Hrádok hill, offering views over the Hron Valley and routes to mining settlements.
The Archbishop of Esztergom established Breznica Castle in the 13th century, which later fell under Matthew Csák's control following a siege in 1311.
The castle ruins exemplify medieval military architecture of Slovakia, with preserved wall sections reflecting construction methods from the Middle Ages.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a 1.5-kilometer walking trail starting from Tekovská Breznica village, with clear markers along the path.
The castle's position provided direct observation of the Slovak Gate passage, the Abbey in Hronský Beňadik, and the medieval mining town of Nová Baňa.
