Beautiful and easily accessible castle ruins. Great views from here and the other nearby viewing points. Part of a wonderful vitality tour that we went on a few years ago. A nice little rainbow was visible at the end today. Only a few pictures were taken with my smartphone, as is often the case with an “adult” camera. Whether I will publish the pictures taken with it depends entirely on whether I forget it after editing or not... ?

Small, fine castle ruins. Parking possible at the hiking car park below the ruins. Information board and seating available. The facility is maintained on a voluntary basis. Sour, neat.

Beckov Castle

The Beckov castle stands on a steep 50 m tall rock in the village Beckov. The dominance of the rock and impression of invincibility it gaves, challenged our ancestors to make use of these assets. The result is a remarkable harmony between the natural setting and architecture.

The castle first mentioned in 1200 was originally owned by the King and later, at the end of the 13th century it fell in hands of Matúš Èák. Its owners alternated - at the end of the 14th century the family of Stibor of Stiborice bought it.

The next owners, the Bánffys who adapted the Gothic castle to the Renaissance residence, improved its fortifications preventing the Turks from conquering it at the end of the 16th century. When Bánffys died out, the castle was owned by several noble families. It fell in decay after fire in 1729.

The history of the castle is the subject of different legends.
