Castle of Diósgyőr

This medieval castle is in the northern part of the city and is assumed to have been built around the 12th century. The current castle is in Gothic style and was built during the reign of King Louis the Great in the 1300’s. The castle previously lied in ruins by the end of the 17th century and was fully restored in 2014 (having started in 1953). The rooms are fully furnished with Mediaeval-style furniture and the castle itself plays host to a variety of events including plays and waxworks exhibitions.
