Lipovsk\u00fd hrad (Lipovce Castle) - royal castle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remains of the former early Gothic royal castle are located on the ridge of Jazve\u010die hill (Z\u00e1m\u010disko, 618 m above sea level) above the famous La\u010dnov gorge. The castle was first documented in writing in 1262, when it was built by King Ondrej II. It was an early Gothic building and had a defensive function. It was devastated in 1265, but it was soon rebuilt and from the 14th century it belonged to the Abovci, who at that time controlled almost the whole of eastern Slovakia. It was demolished at the end of the Curoc wars in 1591. Later it changed hands several times and at the beginning of the 18th century it finally disappeared.
The original function of the castle was to guard the trade route from Pre\u0161ov to Levo\u010da. The road led through the more easily accessible La\u010dnovsk\u00fd saddle and its main mission was to guard the safety of the roads that went through the Lipovec valley from \u0160ari\u0161 to Spi\u0161 or vice versa. It was built in a strategic location at the end of a narrow rocky outcrop of the Branisko mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the fact that the ruins of Lipov Castle are little known, it is interesting not only for its high stone tower, with a nice rock lookout and a view of the La\u010dnov gorge, but also for the preserved remains of the castle walls. Although only fragments of the castle remain, it is still an interesting object, moreover, in an attractive environment of a sharp, rocky ridge. During your visit, look to the left, where the former castle moat is clearly visible; to the right, steep slopes, and in some places walls, fall into the La\u010dnov Gorge. A little further along the ridge, near other fragments of the castle, there is a nice rock lookout with a view of the gorge, Kamenn\u00e1 Baba and the Moses Column.
Lipov Castle is part of\u00a0\u0160ari\u0161 Castle Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
