Once you decide to explore the forests around the village of Rákoš, you will undoubtedly find the ruins of the castle with the same name. Rákoš Castle used to be a magnificent stone building from the second half of the 13th century.
The castle was built by the magnificent Lord Detrik from the Ákoš family after the Tatars invaded this area. The castle was supposed to protect the landscape from further invasions and raids of nomadic barbarians. Over the centuries, the castle has changed several owners, but since the 16th century it has been mentioned as abandoned, it was never restored and gradually turned into a ruin.
To this day, only a clem has been preserved from this massive object, which is slowly but surely absorbed by mighty nature. With the naked eye, it is still possible to trace traces of the guard building, tanker and cannon fire. The ruins can be reached from the village by a pleasant, about 1 km long forest trail from Rákoš.
