Szendrő Castle

Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén · Hungary · Castle ruin

On misty dawns, a figure in a black cloak is said to drift among the ruins of this medieval border fortress.

Above the small town of Szendrő in northeastern Hungary lie the remains of a medieval castle that once guarded the Bódva valley. Locals tell of a mysterious black-cloaked figure that appears among the ruins, especially in rain or misty dawns – said to be the spirit of a soldier who fell defending the stronghold. Hikers and townspeople alike have reported a faint, unintelligible whispering around the castle hill. Today the site is a freely accessible lookout with sweeping views – and a distinctly desolate mood at twilight.
