About
Žakýl is a ruined castle perched on an andesite hill above the village of Podhorie in the northern Štiavnica Hills.
The lost castle of Žakýl once stood atop an andesite hill rising above the village of Podhorie in the northern part of the Štiavnica Hills. Its elevated position offered a commanding strategic view over the surrounding landscape.
Today only modest remnants of the former fortress survive, yet the site retains a distinctive atmosphere and rewards visitors with scenic vistas of the Štiavnica Hills. For those with a passion for history and nature alike, it makes for a rewarding destination.
