An interesting visit. The climb is steep to access the ruins, but short, therefore rather accessible. The village is very pretty and the 360 ​​view from the keep is superb.

Simple to access, be careful it's a good climb and you preferably need suitable shoes. Magnificent view of the top of the keep. (free) parking also

Accessible in 10-15 minutes from Bramevaque. A little steep at first, stroller to avoid. Nice little castle, you can climb to the top, free, hardly see anyone in July.

Quiet, beautiful views and a 2.5km forest trail to Mauleon Barousse. We parked in Bramevaque village, explored the chateau and then walked to Mauleon Barousse for a cold beer.

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.
