Cerovo (also Litava) is a castle ruin in Slovakia. Only insignificant remains of the castle have survived. They are situated on the hill Pustý hrad above the village of Cerovo. The first written mention of the castle dates from 1276. Its destruction evidently occurred in the first half of the 14th century, when the local counts warred among themselves. On a summit three kilometres away a new castle was built, which was subsequently named Čabraď.
