Čachtice or Csjethe castle was built between 1263 & 1276. It was later the home of Hungarian Countess Erzsebet Bathory til her death in 1614. She was imprisoned in a few rooms there in 1610.

The castle was burned in 1708 and the ruins are currently located in Slovakia.

Plans are to rebuild the castle beginning spring of 2014. Tourist $$$$

It's interesting that they are going to rebuild, and I was happy to learn about it.  Even so, that video was difficult to watch!
