Topol'ciansky castle, built in the 13th century, played an important role in the 15th and 16th centuries in the fight against the Turks. At the beginning of the 18th century, during the revolt against the Habsburgs, the castle was heavily damaged by Imperial troops and shortly afterwards it was abandoned. At the end of the 19th century, parts of the ruin were rebuilt in the Romantic style, including the striking tower. The tower was raised and given its characteristic gable roof. Since 1999, conservation work has been carried out on the castle. By the way, you can see a nice 3D animation of the castle on the following web page:
