Topoľčany Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Podhradie, Slovakia.
The stone fortress stands on a hill with a rectangular tower, upper castle walls, and fortification remains overlooking the Ponitrie region.
The royal castle, constructed in the late 13th century, served as a defensive stronghold against Hussite forces and Turkish invasions until its decline.
The preserved prismatic tower contains an exhibition documenting the castle's past under various noble families, including Széchényi, Ország, and Forgách.
A narrow asphalt road from Podhradie village leads to the castle grounds, transitioning into a field path with a steeper climb.
From the castle platform, visitors can observe three mountain ranges: Tribeč, Vtáčnik, and Považský Inovec spreading across the landscape.
