Castle in Velky Kamenec

Approximately in the center of the village, not far from the municipal office building, the ruins of a medieval castle protrude on the hilltop, which is relatively easy to reach and was built in the second half of the 13th century and had primarily a watch function. The surviving walls indicate a triangular floor plan, the remains of a tower and two bastions can also be seen, and in the center of the courtyard there is a water cistern carved into the rock. The fortification probably extended to the church below. At the foot of the castle hill

there is also a classical one

19th century mansion.

It is said that in the 15th century Ján Jiskra from Brandýs and Ján Hunyady signed a peace treaty at the castle.

While in the 17th century, one of the owners of the castle from the Soó family took part in a conspiracy against the monarch, which the imperial army crushed in 1672.
