Map / Vodný hrad Štítnik

Kedysi významné gemerské sídlo dokáže aj dnes očariť svojou historickou zástavbou. Dôležitosť Štítnika dokazujú aj zvyšky vodného hradu nachádzajúceho sa neďaleko centra obce.

Aj keď sa hrad spomína už v 13. storočí, povolenia na stavbu dostali Bubekovci v roku 1432. V období stredoveku plnil hrad funkciu sídla pánov zo Štítnika. Svojím umiestnením bol v minulosti chránený veľkými močariskami. Jeho stavbári využili vyvýšené miesto pri blízkej riečke, ktorá vodou zaplavovala vodnú priekopu.

V roku 1559 bol Štítnický vodný hrad zaradený do systému protitureckých pevností a tejto úlohe bola prispôsobená ďalšia prestavba hradu, doplnená zosilnením vonkajších múrov a vybudovaním delostreleckých bášt. Aj keď sa o hrad viedli ťažké boje s Osmanmi, počas ktorých menil niekoľkokrát majiteľa, poslednú ranu mu zasadili stavovské povstania, v ktorých bol hrad zničený a zostala z neho len ruina.
