Eight kilometres west of the centre of Miskolc, the Castle of Diósgyőr is on a spur in the foothills of the Bükk Mountains.
This stronghold was adapted by Louis I of Hungary in the mid-14th century, coinciding with the castle’s greatest period.
Over the 150 years up to 1526 it was handed down a line of six different queens, which is where the nickname “Castle of Queens” comes from.
