Plavecky castle (remains)

edit

The original castle was built in the 13th century. The middle part consisted of a Gothic castle with rectangular tower and the palace. In the 16th century it was expensively rebuilt into renaissance fortress with low courtyards. It was continually fortified and maintained during the 17th century, when new cannon bastions were built. In 1706 it was damaged by the army and so became dilapidated in the 18th century. The remains are visible from surrounding environment, part of Zahorie district can be seen from the remains.
