Zniev Castle

Slovakia

Castles-Ruins

High above the village Kláštor pod Znievom in the Malá Fatra Mountains raise the ruins of the Zniev Castle. It is the second highest situated castle in Slovakia.

The original castle was mentioned in 1243 as the Turčiansky Castle. In the 14th century a Gothic building and new fortifications were added to it. Thököly's soldiers set fire to the castle in 1681. The rebels of Rákóczi burnt it down in 1705. The last written reference to it is from 1713.

It fell in decay and turned into ruins after the 18th century. However, if one climbs them, gets a fine view of the basin Turčianska kotlina.
