The castle was built during medieval times to guard important trade routes and valleys in the region. It served as a critical point for monitoring movement through the Carpathian valleys.
The castle remains a focal point for local pride, representing the region's medieval past in a tangible way. Residents view it as a keeper of their community's identity and history.
