Füzér Castle
Füzéri vár
A medieval castle on a cone-shaped volcanic hill in the northern Zemplén Mountains, where the Holy Crown of Hungary was once hidden; the reconstruction can be climbed for panoramic views.
Füzér Castle sits atop a cone-shaped volcanic hill near the Slovak border. It was founded in the 13th century, and after the Battle of Mohács in 1526, the Holy Crown of Hungary was hidden here. In recent years the castle has been rebuilt based on archaeological findings, including a Gothic chapel, palace, and gatehouse, and the interior has exhibits on medieval life. From the summit you can look out over the forests and villages of the Zemplén Mountains. The steep walk up from the car park takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The castle is about 50 km from Tokaj and pairs well with the Hollóháza porcelain factory and the Zemplén Adventure Park.
