Plavecky Castle

dscn2863gsDespite cold autumn weather we visited another castle – Plavecky hrad. In our previous mountain walks we had seen it only from afar. It is situated on a 400 m high hill nearby Plavecke Podhradie village.  

The castle was built in 13th century and slowly expanded. In the 2nd part of 16th century it was rebuilt to a more renaissance style. The last military fight within its walls took place in the year 1706. As a result castle was significantly damaged and was never restored. More details about its history in the official leaflet http://www.ppodhradie.sk/nove/castle.pdf

It was also another opportunity to see new parts of the Male Karpaty.
