Hungarian castle


The 299th Hungarian castle on my page is Léka (Lockenhaus), it is situated in Austria, in the region we call Őrvidék or Burgenland, it is next to the border of modern-day Hungary. It was built before the Mongolian Invasion in 1241.
In the first documents, it is known as “Leuca, Leuka wara”, and “castrum de Levka”. At the beginning of the 1200s, Comes Bana of the Sopron area was lord of the area. It is probable that the castle of Leuka was built by Leuka (Lukács) of the Csák Clan.
