Csesznek

Built around a medieval hilltop castle, Csesznek developed into a small settlement in Hungary’s Bakony Mountains. The ruined Csesznek Castle occupies a rocky spur above the village and the wooded Cuha Valley, a notable part of the Bakony landscape. Begun in the 13th century after the Mongol invasion of Hungary, the fortress later acquired Gothic and Baroque elements; an 1810 earthquake left it badly damaged. Its surviving walls and towers remain the village’s historical focus, while the surrounding hills are popular with walkers and cyclists.
