Vazul tower
Nitra (area: Danubian Lowland, region: Lower Nitra )
The site of the Vazul Tower was once a fortress, which was gradually rebuilt. The original tower was two-story, with two entrances: one entrance led to the tower from the courtyard and the other from the castle bell tower. There are portholes in the lower part of the tower and 3 windows on the first floor. We know from older photographs that there was no saddle roof on the tower before, it is the result of the last reconstruction. Below the tower is a late castle prison. The tower and the castle wall surround a small courtyard, here stands the castle well, which was about 60 m deep.
