Kvasovo Castle, Kvasovo
Ruins of a 12th–13th-century Romanesque castle on a hill in the centre of Kvasovo, which guarded the salt road of the Borzhava valley.
The castle in Kvasovo is dated to the 12th–13th centuries: it controlled the salt road and the exit from the Borzhava valley. The first documentary mention dates from 1390, when the castle was held by János Nagymihályi. The structure had a triangular plan and a round keep 12 m in diameter, and a well was cut into the rock of the courtyard. In 1564 (by other accounts, 1565) the castle was taken by the troops of Lazarus von Schwendi; whether it was rebuilt afterwards, the sources disagree. On the 15-metre hill survive the remains of walls 40 and 30 m long; in 2021 the grounds were tidied up. In February 2026 the government entered the castle in the register of monuments of national significance.
