Vodný Hrad

Vodný Hrad is a castle in Štítnik, Slovakia. It was built in the 14th century. In the beginning of the 19th century, some of it was remodeled into a mansion-house. Štítnik is about 14 km from Rožňava.

The ruins are located in a park. Around 1559 the protective walls were built around the castle to ward off the enemies who tried to capture the village or the castle. The castle belonged to several families including the Balogs, the Pongracys, and the Bakošovs.[1]
