Ľupča Castle, Medieval castle in Slovenská Ľupča, Slovakia
The white stone castle rises above the Hron valley on a strategic location between Banská Bystrica and Brezno, controlling the historical Via Manga route.
Built before 1250 following the Mongol invasion, the castle served as a residence for Hungarian kings including Bela IV, Louis I, and Matthias Corvinus.
The castle chapel contains a sacristy with painted wooden ceilings, representing the architectural traditions of medieval Slovak nobility.
The castle opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 15:30 in July and August, with entry fees of 4 euros for adults and 2 euros for students.
A 62-meter deep well within the castle includes a hidden tunnel system that leads outside the fortress walls near the castle grounds.
