Oravski Grad #Slovakia
Orava Castle is the most beautiful castle in Slovakia, built on a 112-meter cliff above Orava. It is included in the list of national cultural monuments of the country.
The castle was built in the XIII century, on the site of a small wooden fortress that stood on a rock since the Mongol invasion. The first mention of Oravsky Grad is found in documents of 1267.
The stronghold was built on the northwestern border of the kingdom to control trade routes between Poland and Hungary.
There was also a customs post here, collecting tribute from merchants who brought goods by water along the Orava.
