History of Boldogkő castle In the North-Eastern direction from Miskolc town there is a narrow cliff, crowned by the walls of the Castle of Boldogkő.
The enlargement of the castle's walls followed the changing needs of its owners. Ferenc Bebek, thief-knight even minted counterfeit coins, the metal forge of which was later discovered by archeologist. In the 17th century the castle was no longer an important military base. In the 19th century the nobel family Péchy turned the remaining covered rooms into a grain storage and they made reconstruction works on the walls. The professional restoration works only started in the 1960's, which continued at the beginning of the 21th century. In the course of restoration works of this century the lower courtyard, once protected by wooden pillars and which surrended the place in front of the present stone castle was uncovered. At present days the Castle of Boldogkő - thanks to the castle friend's society - organizes summer castle plays for those, who are interested in past historical times.
