History
The beginnings of the habitation of the rocky promontory date back to the 13th century. Later, a monastic building was created here, managed by the Templars. Subsequently, it came under the rule of King Charles Robert. In 1325, Karol Róbert founded the first secular order of knights in Europe – the Order of the Knights of St. George. His son Ľudovít I builds a castle in Víľaš, later completed by Sigismund of Luxemburg. Sigismund of Luxemburg and his wife Barbara Celjska founded the Order of the Dragon in 1408. In the 16th century, they built a fortification with four towers for protection against the Turks and maintained a permanent military garrison there. It was owned by the Csáky family from 1636 and the Esterházy family from 1690 until the end of feudalism. They rebuilt it into a castle mansion in the 18th century. The castle was last restored in the 19th century. It was damaged and burned down during World War II.
In 2009, the ruins of the castle were bought by the Rekitar family. We owe the castle’s current appearance to the extensive reconstruction that was completed in 2013 and which was carried out by the family of the current owners.
