Spis Castle

This imposing 12th-century fortress was one of the few castles that resisted the Mongol attacks of 1241, gradually enlarged over the centuries and destroyed by fire in 1780.

Reviewed By 307cliver - Royal Tunbridge Wells, United Kingdom

Lucky for us it was a clear blue sky which allowed us see the castle in all its glory. Approaching the castle up the steep path from the car park allows you to appreciate its size and history. We spent a couple of hours wandering around taking in what can only be described as a wonderful piece of Slovakian history. From the museum exhibits to climbing up the narrow staircase to the top of the tower, wandering around the lower castle grounds you can’t help but be in awe of this castle. We loved it...????
