Korlátka (German: Burg Konradstein) is located in Cerová, Slovakia. It was a border castle of the Kingdom of Hungary. Today it is in ruins.

Korlátka was built in the mid-13th century to protect the western border of Hungary and was first mentioned in documents in 1289. In 1315 the castle was renovated, and in 1394 it was given by King Sigismund to Duke Stibor of Stiborice.

In the second half of the 16th century the castle was reinforced once more. In 1700 the inhabited upper castle was finally abandoned and the owners moved into the mansion of the outer bailey.
