Lietava Castle is an extensive ruin nestled in the Súľov Mountains of northern Slovakia, positioned between the villages of Lietava and Lietavská Svinná-Babkov in Žilina District. Founded in 1241, the fortress evolved architecturally over centuries, incorporating both Gothic and Renaissance elements that reflect its long occupation and periodic renovations. Today it survives as a cultural heritage site, its weathered remains testimony to its strategic importance in medieval Slovakia.
