4 minutes in ORAVA CASTLE - ORAVSKY HRAD
The Orava Castle (Oravsky Hrad) is one of the most beautiful castles in Slovakia, situated on a high rock above the Orava river in the region of the North Orava.
It was originally a fortified fortress, constructed right after the Tartar raids, in the mid 13th century. A legend says that the castle couldn’t be built by any man, that’s why the rich nobleman who owned the fortress made a pact with a devil.
Today the Castle is a remarkable compound of buildings of the lower, central and upper castles with palaces, fortifications and towers. Visitors are intrigued by its three entrance gates communicated by a tunnel, under which there is a dungeon. Many of scenes from the famous vampire horror film Nosferatu (1922) were shot in Orava Castle.
