Biely Kamen Castle Ruins

Biely Kamen (White stone) is a ruin of a Gothic castle situated on the wooded hill above the town of Svaty Jur at the Pezinok District in the Bratislava region.

The castle, originally occupying a relatively large area of hill has been preserved in a state of advanced decay, which does not allow getting detailed information about its original form and development.

White Stone Castle replaced older fort located on the opposite side of the valley. This fort was built in the 9th century and acted in the next period. Acquiring the territory of Svaty Jur in 1209, the family Hunt-Poznan chose as his residence the original strength over the fort Neštich.
