History

Ancient fortress

Lord of Libra and the Tatras

The national cultural monument Beckov Castle accumulates a truly rich history around itself. The first written mentions come from the time of the reign of King Belo III of Hungary. An anonymous chronicler working at his court described in his work the progress of the Old Hungarian tribes during the invasion of Great Moravia, mentioning also the seizure of Beckov Castle, then called Blundus. This name corresponds to other written messages and also agrees with the later name of Blondóc.
