Ruins of Bačkov Castle

The ruins of Bačkov Castle are located near the present-day village of Bačkov under the ruins of the manor house. The village is located 8 km behind the Dargovsky Pass, 5 km from Sečovce. The now defunct castle was built directly in the village at the beginning of the 14th century. After losing the battle, the original landowners of Bačkov lost their property by confiscation and the new owners built a new castle in the village of Bačkov. The first known owner and probably also the founder of Bačkov was Miko resp. Mick (o). In the 18th century, Baček was owned by the Fischer family, the Semer family, the Mariáš family, the Puky family, the Kolnášov family and the Forgáčov family. In 1944, the Orthodox church from 1700 was destroyed and the manor house was completely destroyed.

During World War II, the village was burned and ravaged by retreating German troops.
