Kula Castle
🇭🇺 Hungary
Kula Castle, or the Kula tower, is a watchtower built of stone around the 14th century in the settlement of Szabadbattyán, near road 6307. During the Middle Ages an impassable, marshy area covered this region, flooded by the Sárvíz river, whose only natural crossing point was the ford beside the settlement of Szabadbattyán; the tower was raised to defend it.
