Divín
Hrinova, Slovakia
Divín (Slovak: Divínsky hrad; also referred to as Divín Castle) is a Gothic castle ruin, located in the village of Divín in the Banská Bystrica Region of Slovakia. The castle was built in the 13th century. In the 16th century, it was rebuilt to become an anti-Turkish fortress. However, the Turks managed to invade the territory, occupying Divin between 1575 and 1593. In the 17th century, the castle passed into the hands of the House of Balassa, one of the richest Hungarian families of the time. In 1694, it was demolished by the imperial general Strassoldo, and only its ruins remain today.
