Castle Lietava

The ruins of Castle Lietava, located in the village of Martin, Slovakia, are a mysterious reminder of days gone by. Built in the 13th century by the Lords of Liptov, it is believed to be one of the oldest castles in Central Europe.  The castle was later modified over hundreds of years and became a symbol for Slovakian pride and strength during its heyday as a powerful fortress.

Today, visitors to this enchanting ruin can witness its many grandiose features such as two large courtyards with turrets, several towers and gateways leading to different sections of the castle complex. Amidst all this beauty lies intriguing stories – tales of betrayal and loyalty that once surrounded the walls of Castle Lietava. These stories are still alive today in the hearts of those who visit this awe-inspiring ruin that has stood since medieval times.
