ÄŒeklÃs Castle
ÄŒeklÃs Castle was a medieval fortification near Bernolákovo in the Bratislava region, Slovakia. The castle was most likely built in the 13th century. It was destroyed and abandoned in the 16th century. Nowadays only a part of the perimeter wall, about 32 m long and situated on the edge of the ridge, has been preserved from the castle above ground level. A water tower was built on top of the castle remains in 1905. The tower was styled to fit the historical environment but is materially completely separate from the ÄŒeklÃs Castle. History The origins of the ÄŒeklÃs Castle are not very well known. It was probably built in the 13th century and served as a guard castle of a road leading from Bratislava to the east. According to some sources, it was first mentioned in 1209 as an old settlement that Andrew II of Hungary donated to an administrator of the royal cellars by the name of Å ebeÅ¡. Some documents from 1290 hint towards Pavol, son of Count Kozma of Pezinok, as the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bernolákovo (, former Slovak names: ''ÄŒeklÃs'', ''ÄŒeklýs'') is a village and municipality in western Slovakia in Senec District in the Bratislava Region.
