Vodný hrad is a very original, small castle in Slovakia. For a long time it was a complete ruin, but today it has been thoroughly renovated and today it looks like it was in its heyday. Unfortunately, the interior of the castle is not open to the public.
The castle was surrounded by defensive walls with four corner towers. To this day, arrowslits have been preserved in the ground floor, and late Gothic and Renaissance paintings in the large hall. During the Rakoczi uprising, the cellars housed a prison and a temporary insurgent mint.
The castle was built in the fifteenth century on the initiative of the Prokopy and Soós families as a late Gothic stronghold. At the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, it was expanded and fortified, acquiring renaissance features. Today it has the form of a castle with defensive towers converted into apartments and farm buildings.
