Breznica Castle

Breznica (also known as Breznica Castle, Berzenche, Berzentehe or Berzencze) is the ruins of a castle near the village of Tekovská Breznica in the Banská Bystrica Region of Slovakia.

The castle is suggested to be first mentioned in the years between 1273-76. Breznica castle was built before the Tatar invasion by Archbishop of Esztergom. Shortly after its reconstruction in 1423 into a Gothic fortress it was taken by John Jiskra of Brandýs's Hussites and later in 1471 by the Polish king Casimir. The castle was destroyed after 1732, being used as a source of building material.
