Regéc Castle
Regéci vár
A castle ruin deep in the Zemplén forests where the young Rákóczi II once lived; partially restored and open to visitors.
Regéc Castle was built in the late 13th century on a hilltop deep in the Zemplén forests. In the 17th century it belonged to the Rákóczi family, and as a child, Rákóczi II lived here with his mother, Zrínyi Ilona. The castle has been restored in stages, and visitors can explore the reconstructed palace rooms and walls, with wide views from the top. The surrounding forest trails are good for hiking, and the walk up from the village car park takes about 20 minutes. The castle is about 40 km from Tokaj and sees relatively few visitors.
Opening hours
