Description:
Tátika Castle is a medieval castle ruin near Zalaszántó, on one of the basalt peaks of the Keszthelyi Plateau. It may have been named after the landowner Tádenka or Tadeuka, who bought the estate of Szántó village from János of the Kaplony clan and had the castle built even before the Tatar invasion. It was certainly one of the earliest private castles. In 1248, it was confiscated from the Tátika clan by order of King Béla IV. In the early 14th century, it was occupied by the Kőszegi clan, but Charles Robert recaptured it from them in his 1321 campaign. It then remained under royal administration for the following decades. Its end came in 1589 when a large raiding Turkish force stormed and captured it, then burned its buildings after plundering. In 1713, imperial troops burned the abandoned castle under the pretext of maneuvers. In 1741, the Festetics who acquired the estate could only claim a castle ruin.
