Built13th century

Dračí hrádok (literally Dragon fort or Dragon castle in English) are the ruins of a castle located in the southernmost part of the Little Carpathians, less than 2 km southeast of Borinka in the Bratislava region, Slovakia.

The castle was built in the 13th century on a hill above the valley of the Stupava stream at an altitude of about 370 m above sea level.

Along with other castle ruins in the region, such as Biely Kameň and Pajštún Castle, Dračí hrádok is a hiking destination near the country's capital, Bratislava.
