Hollókő Castle Hollókő Castle, rising among the hills of the Cserhát, is one of the country's most iconic medieval fortresses. Its construction began in the late 13th century, shortly after the Mongol invasion, thanks to the Kacsics clan. The primary purpose of the fortress was to protect the surrounding area and important trade routes. Over the centuries, ownership of the castle changed frequently: it was held by Máté Csák, Charles Robert, and later the Szécsényi family. During the Ottoman occupation, it served as a strategic border fortress, changing hands multiple times until the early 18th century, when, like many other Hungarian castles, it was partially demolished by order of Emperor Leopold I following the Rákóczi War of Independence. Thanks to extensive reconstructions carried out in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, it can now be visited in its full splendour, showcasing the everyday life of the knightly era.

This recognition was based on the architectural unity of the settlement: the village centre, consisting of 67 protected houses, faithfully preserves the folk architecture of the 17th and 18th centuries.
