Zbojnícky zámok (German: Burg Salzburg) is a ruined castle, the name of which means something like "robber's castle". It is also called Zbojnícky hrad " Robber's Castle " or originally Soľnohrad "Salzburg" and is located above the village of Ruská Nová Ves in the Slanské vrchy in eastern Slovakia .
There is a royal permit from 1288 to build the castle, but construction probably began at least ten years later. The castle was supposed to replace two no longer preserved castles in the area of Solivar . It was destroyed in 1715 and has continued to deteriorate ever since.
