Attractions
In the east of the village lie the ruins of the Kamenica Castle on a rocky hill , which was originally called Thorku . The castle was built by Dietrich Tarczay in 1248 and was owned by the Tarcay until it was destroyed by imperial troops in 1558 . Large parts of the old walls were removed in 1816 and used as building material for a schnapps distillery in the neighboring village of Lúčka .
