Castle of Hollókő
Address: Hollókő,
Hollókő castle was first mentioned in documents from the 13 th century under the name "Castrum Hollokew". Legend has it that András Kacsics, its owner kidnapped a beautiful dame, whose nurse happened to be a witch. This witch nurse allined with the devil himself to release the belle from her custody. This is the reason that by the devil’s order the hellish crew took the stones from of crows. Finally the castle was finished, perching on a huge granite mount and since 1987 together with the protected old part of the village it has been a part of the world heritage.
