Diosgyor Castle


Diosgyor Castle in Miskolc was built in the mid 1200s and for a time was home to the King of Hungary. The Turks held the castle and the country for about a century and a half starting in 1544. The Austrians overcame the Turks and for a time the castle was a mint and treasury. A Hungarian revolt in 1706 led to the destruction of the town and the gradual decay of the castle.
