An extensive castle probably used and completed in the Great Moravian period.

Its advantageous strategic location allowed the control of roads at a distance of 15-20 km. The castle has the shape of a 115 m long and 105 m wide horseshoe closed by a rampart, which is combined along its entire length with a moat. The castle consists of two courtyards, at the eastern end of the rampart there is a spring that provides water for most of the year. The last investigative survey was carried out here in 1999 by the Archaeological Museum of the SNM, which dated the youngest phase of the fortification to the 13th and early 14th centuries. The castle is accessible from the Harmónia resort with a blue tourist sign or from Modra with a blue and later yellow tourist sign, or from Zochová chata with a red and then a blue tourist sign.
