Lednica Castle, Gothic castle ruins in Púchov District, Slovakia.

The fortress stands atop a limestone rock formation in the Biele Karpaty Mountains, featuring remnants of Gothic architecture and defensive walls.

Built in the late 13th century as a border protection fortress for the Kingdom of Hungary, the castle experienced multiple ownership changes before its destruction.

The castle maintains its status as a Cultural Heritage Monument of Slovakia, representing medieval military architecture and regional defensive structures.

Visitors reach the castle through a marked footpath that starts from Lednica village and continues past the church to the castle entrance.

The castle entrance features a 10-meter-long tunnel carved directly into the rock, leading to a small courtyard with the main residential building.
