Filakovo Castle was a medieval castle whose ruins are overlooking the town Fiľakovo. The first written mention of the castle is from 1242, where it says that the castle resisted Tartar invasions. It has several owners, including Matthew III Csák.
In the 12th century, the original castle consists of square tower, perimeter wall with the palace on the southwest side and probably mound with palisades. During the reconstruction in 1551 the castle was expanded to the middle castle with a pair of massive pentagonal bastions. Lower Castle was provided by three polygonal bastions, and two tower gates with drawbridge and moat 10 meters deep. The reconstruction included also building a massive city walls with gates and rounded ditched.
From the town fortification it has been preserved only bastion. Lower Castle was absorbed by the town, only part of the courtyard was preserved. The castle burned down in 1682 during the siege and since then it has been in ruins.
