Gólyavár - Dombóvár

It is close to the road.

Anyone who goes for it and sees it because it's okay but that's why it's not worth coming here ...

There's nothing there, just a few bricks. According to the announcement, there is excavation there, but there is no trace.

The place itself is somewhat neglected, close to the road. Unfortunately, we couldn't go close.

"It is forbidden to enter an excavation area and it is life-threatening!" As I reached the Kapos Bridge, hey, but I’ve been to its shores many times before, a bike path joined me from a side street on the left. Good advice: come from Dombóvár if you want to see the Stork Castle! Kapos was still enchanted. From yesterday's rain, its flow became hasty, its shores lined with trees like a protective emerald-colored scarf. A stone's throw from Kapos, on the right side of the road, are the stumps of Dombó Castle. An information board tells you some basic facts! The strange Stork Castle was named after the birds that nest here. In 2013, the city asked the Department of Archeology of the University of Szeged to explore the castle. During the excavation, it was proved that the first castle was built here around 1400. The foundations of a Renaissance building were also excavated here. A chronicle reports on a two-story building in which it found 30 doors, 62 window openings “made of cipher-carved stone”. The Turkish occupation from 1543 ended in 1686 with a strong cannon. Serbian soldiers were still serving in the castle perforated on the Emmental for some time. In 1750, the remains were demolished, and the stone of the Eszterházy estate was built from its stones. I walked into the stubborn but wide road to the ruins. All the way to the pounding sign. A few pieces of wall reminiscent of a wild “prairie” are reminiscent of the glorious past. I also saw a foil tent of unknown purpose. The former residence of István Werbőczy and Sebestyén Tinódi Lantos would deserve more than that! It's like Kaposvár, whose walls can't even be found by the locals! Many settlements, if they had a castle or even such a small stump…

Based on previous entries, I did not have high expectations, but it is unfortunate that a historical memory of ours is in such a state (weed, rubbish, neglect). I read that they started exploring in 2013 ... well I think they stopped then because if they had done it since then it wouldn't look like that .. It's sad.

A small roadside stop. It's nice at idle, but everything can be seen in the pictures, you can't go between them because it's a construction area. There is a small river / canal nearby, its shores are good for walking
