Čachtice Castle
Čachtice Castle is a medieval hilltop castle ruin in western Slovakia, originally built in the mid-13th century and expanded through the 15th–17th centuries. Perched on a grassy, plant-rich hill, the site retains a dominant rounded residence/keep, long stretches of rubble curtain wall and several ruined towers.

As it stood in 1600
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a grassy, scrub-covered hill, the castle presents a tall, largely rounded residence tower with smooth rendered upper faces and narrow vertical slit windows, surrounded by irregular rubble-stone curtain walls and several broken tower fragments. Walls are of pale local stone with patches of plaster; paths and terraces cut into the slope lead between layered defensive masonry. At its prime the roofs and battlements would have closed these broken silhouettes, forming a compact complex of stone walls and towers on the hilltop.
