Hollókő folk village Hungary 4K
Hollókő is a Palóc ethnographic village in Hungary and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its name means Raven-stone in Hungarian.
The village is located in Nógrád county, approximately 91.1 kilometres northeast from Budapest, the capital of Hungary. It lies in a valley of Cserhát Mountains, surrounded by low peaks. The natural environment is protected.
In the middle of the 13th century, in the aftermath of the Mongol invasion, construction of Hollókő castle first began as a means to protect the area against future attacks. At this time, the area around Hollókő was held by the Kacsics noble clan. The castle was first mentioned in records in 1310.[1] The original village was built just below the castle walls. The Ottomans captured the castle in 1552 and for the next 150 years, control alternated between Ottoman and Hungarian forces. At the end of the Ottoman era (1683) the castle and the village were finally abandoned and the present village grew up below.[2] Many of the existing houses were first built around this time. The houses, which contain wood in their structure, have had to be rebuilt many times throughout the years due to periodic fires, the last being in 1909. In 1987, the village, castle ruins, and surrounding area were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Castle Hollókő , Hungary ...
From far the castle could disappear even from the tiniest fog as though our senses are playing with us. Perhaps it is true… According to the origin myth of the castle, once upon a time a lord named Andras, a member of the famous Kacsics family, lived here. Andras once kidnapped a neighbouring lord’s beautiful wife and closed her into one of the rooms of the castle that was being built that time. The masons were building the castle. The walls of the room was on its place by day, but they disappeared by night. The beautiful wife had a witch nurse who entered into an alliance with the devil. The devil’s sons in shape of ravens carried the stones away by night and they had done the same until the wife escaped. According to the tale, the village and the castle were named after the devil’s sons, the ravens.
