The first written mention dates from 1282, where it appears under the name&nbsp;<strong>Ostr\u00fd Kame\u0148<\/strong>. In 1543, the castle was captured and damaged. Ambr\u00f3z Kecer of the Aba family, its owner, was killed whilst defending it. The castle was subsequently repaired by his sons, but by 1567 it was already described as having been demolished. It was completely destroyed by the supporters of J\u00e1n Z\u00e1polsk\u00fd in 1591.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The appearance of the castle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lipovec Castle<\/strong>&nbsp;It is approximately 35 metres long and between 8 and 15 metres wide. The lower section of the fortifications protected the castle on only three sides, as the northern slope down to the stream is very steep. The castle is surrounded by a lower wall measuring approximately 110 m by 60 m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the top of the hill there is a prominent circular depression. A defensive tower, connected by a castle bridge, probably stood at its summit, protecting Lipovec Castle from the east. It is also evident that there were once separate courtyards here, as well as a moat with an outer rampart, which protected the castle on three sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lipovec Castle is part of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sarisskahradnacesta.sk\/\">\u0160ari\u0161 Castle Road<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source.<br>Photo source:OOCR R\u0160<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":501,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"kategoria-poi":[42,43],"lokalita":[],"sezona-poi":[30],"class_list":["post-500","poi","type-poi","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategoria-poi-historia","kategoria-poi-hrad","sezona-poi-celorocne"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slanskevrchy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi\/500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slanskevrchy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slanskevrchy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/poi"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slanskevrchy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slanskevrchy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategoria-poi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slanskevrchy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategoria-poi?post=500"},{"taxonomy":"lokalita","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slanskevrchy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lokalita?post=500"},{"taxonomy":"sezona-poi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slanskevrchy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sezona-poi?post=500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
