A pretty pretty place that offers 3-4 parking spaces, right on the route to Stromberg and the old castle ruins. I also liked the good seating with a table, which offers space for at least 8 people. Not a view worth mentioning, but a wastepaper basket. I of value. To take a break, perfect!

A small ruined castle that is easy to explore and climb on foot. Great view over the surrounding valley.

Beautiful little castle ruins, but as others have already written, you could make more of it. I especially liked the many different plants and herbs that grow wild around the castle.

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.
