Modrý Kameň, Medieval castle in Veľký Krtíš District, Slovakia.

The castle complex contains Gothic ruins on a rock pinnacle and a Baroque manor house at its base, overlooking the town of Modrý Kameň.

Built in 1137 as part of Hungary's defense system, the castle fell to Ottoman forces in 1576 and underwent multiple destructions during the 17th century.

The castle museum presents exhibitions about puppetry and toys, displaying the evolution of these crafts throughout Slovakia and neighboring countries.

Visitors can access the castle daily from 9 AM to 5 PM between May and October, with extended hours until 6 PM during July and August.

The castle houses Central Europe's only museum dedicated to the history of dental technology, displaying tools and equipment from different periods.
