Lipovce, Medieval castle ruins in Lipovce, Slovakia.
Stone fortification walls and a remaining 4-meter tower stand on Jazvečí Hill, overlooking the surrounding valleys and mountains of eastern Slovakia.
Built during the 13th century, the castle served as a strategic guard post until its abandonment in the 15th century, when nature gradually reclaimed the structure.
The castle represents medieval military architecture of Slovakia, with its preserved foundations revealing construction methods used by builders of that period.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following an unmarked path from the state road connecting Lipovce to Lačnov, located 600 meters from the site.
The castle's position on Jazvečí Hill provides access to nearby natural attractions including the Lačnov Canyon and the Zlá Diera Cave system.
