Krásnohorské Podhradie, Slovakia
A hilltop castle badly damaged by fire in 2012 and under long restoration. Even when closed it is a fine sight, and the Art Nouveau Andrássy mausoleum stands just below.
Krásna Hôrka Castle stands near Krásnohorské Podhradie in Slovakia and belonged to the Andrássy family. A fire badly damaged it in 2012. It has been under reconstruction since then and is closed to visitors.
Recent signals about reopening have been contradictory. In December 2025 the culture minister held out the prospect of opening the lower and middle parts at the end of summer 2026, depending on safety inspections. In January 2026 a committee chairman called a partial opening before the end of the restoration unrealistic, and the park's castle page named 2030 as a possible date at the end of January 2026. We could not confirm whether anything has opened since. Please check the current situation beforehand.
Nearby Betliar Manor, also an Andrássy property, is a sensible addition to your visit.
