Ruin
Živánska Veža Castle
🇸🇰 Slovakia
Živánska Veža Castle is the ruin of a medieval watchtower in western Slovakia, in the district of Zlaté Moravce near the village of Jedľové Kostoľany. It probably came into being in the second half of the 14th century and belonged to the estate of Hrušov Castle. It guarded an important trade route through the valley of the river Žitava. It ceased to exist after 1708, when Hrušov Castle was destroyed. It originally had several storeys; a torso of the north-western wall has survived to the present day up to the height of the second floor.
