Castle
Viniansky Castle are the ruins of a Gothic castle on the mostly andesite hill on the south-west part of the Vihorlat Hills above the village of Vinné, in the Michalovce District of Slovakia. The ruins, associated with the nobility of Michalovce, originates from the latter part of the 13th century. Similar to other castles in the area, it functioned as a watchtower along the Magna Via, an ancient trade route connecting the Potisie region to Poland. The castle was demolished during the Estates' rebellion in the early 18th century. Currently, the castle has been under reconstruction since 2011, which is being carried out by the Zemplínsko-Užská hradná cesta civic association.
