At the bottom of the cross-section, 4 round holes were discovered in the east-west line. | Room 0.04 – A ditch cut in a rock cliff, which probably served to drain water from the cellar and/or food storage. |
The result of the archaeological research is the discovery of a room under the entrance gate to the mansion with dimensions of approximately 4 x 4 m. Bricks marked “CPB” - Comes Pavol Balaša and dated 1767 were discovered in the vault. According to experts and identical discoveries in other castles, this is a dungeon area for serious criminals who were guarded by the castle guard. | ||
