Obišovský hrad, Medieval castle ruins near Obišovce, Slovakia.
The castle stands at 360 meters altitude on a hilltop above the Svinka River valley, with steep slopes on three sides.
The fortification, built in the 13th century by the Abov family, replaced earlier wooden structures destroyed during Mongol invasions of 1241 and 1285.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed remnants of Roman settlements from the 2nd and 3rd centuries, indicating long-term human presence in the area.
Visitors can reach the castle through marked paths starting from Obišovce village or the train station in Ličartovce, with free parking available nearby.
The castle's modest courtyard measures 25 by 30 meters without agricultural facilities, indicating its primary function as a temporary refuge rather than permanent residence.
