The role of the castle of Tokaj increased when the country broke into three parts (1514). The castle - situated in the coincidence of the three parts of the country - had an important role at the time of Transylvania-Royal Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish occupation . The castle had different owners, but in the end it was owned by the Rakoczy family. (1646). The most well-known portrayal remained from that time because Rakoczy Gyorgy I. had it planned with Italian military engineers.
The castle had role in the war of independence lead by Rakoczy Ferenc II. It was reoccupied from the pro-Austrian soldiers by its landlord in the winter of 1704-5. The reigning prince gave an order to Patay Samuel (was the constable of the castle at that time) to destroy the castle. We do not know exactly his incentive, we can only guess it.
Today only one wall of the castle can be found on the left side of the Bodrog river, where blocks of flats stand, the former place of the castle is tombs of the Jewish.
