About

Kapušany Castle is an impressive ruin perched on an andesite rocky spur of the Spiš-Šariš Highlands above the village of Kapušany.

Kapušany Castle rises upon a rocky spur of the andesite ridge of the Spiš-Šariš Highlands, dominating the village of Kapušany nestled at the foot of the hills. Its strategic position once allowed its occupants to oversee key trade and communication routes across the surrounding valley.

Today the castle survives as a picturesque ruin that, despite centuries of decay, continues to capture the imagination of all who approach it. The remnants of its once-mighty fortifications bear witness to the medieval stronghold's former glory and military significance.

A visit to the castle rewards not only history enthusiasts but also nature lovers. From the hilltop, sweeping panoramic views unfold across the landscape, making the steep climb well worth the effort.
