Korlátka, Gothic castle ruin in Cerová, Slovakia.

The remains of Korlátka Castle include fragments of a cylindrical tower, sections of palace walls, and fortification structures at 455 meters elevation.

Built in the 13th century as a Royal Castle, Korlátka protected the western frontier of the Kingdom of Hungary until its abandonment in the 18th century.

The castle ruins represent early Gothic architectural elements from medieval Slovakia, displaying the defensive infrastructure of the Little Carpathians region.

Visitors can reach the castle by following yellow hiking marks from Cerová's fire station to a forest cottage, then taking the path to the ruins.

The most intact section remains the farm building in the castle's forecourt, providing insights into medieval agricultural practices and daily castle operations.
