Description

The ruins of Lipovce Castle are hidden in a dense forest on the ridge of Jazvečí Hill, which borders the village of Lipovce. The castle once served a guard function and had an excellent, almost inaccessible position. It was built in the 13th century in the early Gothic style.

The castle became extinct probably in the 15th century and has since been released to the power of nature. Until now, the remains of castle walls, foundations, mounds and ditches have been preserved. From a distance, it is possible to see a relatively well preserved part of the stone tower, which is rising to a height of 4 meters.

No marked trail leads to the ruins. The most convenient access (about 600m) is from the state road Lipovce - Lačnov, west of Lipovce. There is also an information board that guides tourists better.
