Parkan Castle, located across the Danube in Štúrovo, is a 16th-century Ottoman fortress that offers a museum and sweeping views of the river. Originally built by the Ottomans, the castle features thick stone walls, bastions, and a central courtyard. Visitors can explore the museum's exhibits on local history and Ottoman-era artifacts, then climb the ramparts for a panoramic vista of the Danube and the Esztergom Basilica. The castle's strategic position made it a key military site during the Ottoman wars.
