Devin Castle

Devin Castle stands on a steep limestone crag at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers, at the point where Slovakia, Austria, and the Czech Republic nearly meet. Occupation of the site extends back to Celtic and Roman times, and the ruins visible today date mainly from medieval and early modern phases before the castle's destruction by Napoleonic troops in 1809. The view from the keep's remains down to the double-river confluence is especially strong in evening light.
