The Little Carpathians and the area of Z\u00e1horie in the foreground have been the frontier area of the Hungarian kingdom ever since the early Middle Ages, which, due to the complicated relationships with its western neighbors, had to be extensively fortified. In the early stages of the kingdom, protection of the border was largely provided by entanglements blocking the passage through the mountain ridge and by tribes of border guards, who were the only inhabitants of settlements in this otherwise barren area of the Z\u00e1horie valley.<\/p>\n<p>From 13th century, a gradual population of the flatland under the mountain began and the protection of the kingdom was taken over by solid stone castles, build on the ridge of the Little Carpathians. During the 13. and 14 century, throughout a span of about 100 kilometers of the mountain, from the Danube to the V\u00e1h area, about 15 castles had sprung into existence. This firm chain, fittingly called the \u201cMaginot line\u201d of the middle ages by the Moravian researcher M. Pla\u010dek, was completed by a chain of smaller guard castles and by lower castles in Hol\u00ed\u010d, Skalica and \u0160a\u0161t\u00edn.<\/p>\n<p>Together with them, a strong defense line was made up by the castles Paj\u0161t\u00fan, the castle near Kuchy\u0148a, Plaveck\u00fd castle, Korl\u00e1tka, Bran\u010d and \u010cachtice. These castles stood on the outer hill parts of the Little Carpathians from which they controlled the space in the foreground and access to the hill passes. Further points of support were the castles in Bratislava, Dev\u00edn, Dra\u010d\u00ed Hr\u00e1dok castle in Borinka, Biely Kame\u0148 in St. Jur, Ostr\u00fd Kame\u0148 and Dobr\u00e1 Voda, which blocked the passage of important roads though mountains. The network of strategic guard points was completed by the castles Pezinok, \u010cerven\u00fd Kame\u0148 and Smolenice, built on the inner side of the Little Carpathians.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_126788516\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n\t\t\t<img width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plaveckyhrad.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Plavecky-hrad-krasy-Slovenska-43.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.plaveckyhrad.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Plavecky-hrad-krasy-Slovenska-43.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.plaveckyhrad.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Plavecky-hrad-krasy-Slovenska-43-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.plaveckyhrad.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Plavecky-hrad-krasy-Slovenska-43-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_126788516 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1405667270 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n#section_1405667270 .ux-shape-divider--top svg {\n  height: 150px;\n  --divider-top-width: 100%;\n}\n#section_1405667270 .ux-shape-divider--bottom svg {\n  height: 150px;\n  --divider-width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1226,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-transparent-header.php","meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.14 -
