Remains of Szecseny Castle - castle - Szecseny

At the edge of the Ipoly Valley, on the old course of the river the castle stood. It is not known exactly when it was constructed but it is mentioned in a charter of 1461.
The Franciscan church and monastery were joined to it. It was rebuilt in the 16th century by the commander of the castle Ferenc Disznossy. The stones of the castle were used to build the Forgach Chateau.
What remains now are some remnants of the walls of the outer towers, the motte, the pickets along with the north-west bastion (used as a look-out point) and the ten metre-diameter north-east bastion (Bastion Museum).
