Kamenica Castle, Gothic castle ruin in Kamenica, Slovakia.

The castle stands at an elevation of 725 meters with remaining fragments of the upper and middle wards showing Gothic architectural elements.

Built in the early thirteenth century to protect a Polish trading route to Košice, the castle underwent multiple sieges before its destruction in 1556.

The castle was transferred to the Berzevici family in 1270, marking the beginning of noble ownership that influenced regional development for centuries.

The ruins remain accessible throughout the year without entrance fees, located at coordinates 49.1958914 latitude and 20.9700596 longitude in eastern Slovakia.

The castle's stones were repurposed in 1816 to construct a brewery in nearby Lúčka after the structure fell into abandonment.
