Devin Castle, situated just outside Bratislava, boasts a strategic location that has been of significance since prehistoric times. Its foundations span various epochs, from the times of the Celts and Romans to its peak in the Middle Ages. The castle has witnessed numerous sieges, and its walls have seen both triumph and tragedy. In 1809, the castle was blown up by Napoleon’s army, but its remnants are still awe-inspiring. Today, it’s not just the architecture that captivates visitors, but also the panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, particularly the rivers below. The castle complex comprises both the upper castle and a lower castle fortified with walls and towers. The Maiden Tower, isolated from the main castle, stands on a separate rock and has become a symbol of the castle's unyielding spirit.
Discover the layers of history, from ancient tales to medieval legends, as you wander through the ruins of Devin Castle. Every stone and vista whispers stories of the past, making it a must-visit for history buffs and nature lovers alike.
