Orava Castle, Slovakia

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Orava Castle is a famous medieval castle built on a hilltop in northern Slovakia, near the country's border with Poland.  Seen in this excellent drone video by AirVuz contributor and pilot slaks_travel, it was originally a wood fortification built during the time of the Mongol invasions of the 13th century.  The castle was reconstructed during the 19th century to assume its present Neo-Gothic design.  Orava appeared in the top 10 list of Slovakian castles in a recent ranking by Trip Advisor.
