Fire breaks out again near Krásna Hôrka Castle but quickly extinguished

A fire erupted on the hill beneath Krásna Hôrka Castle in eastern Slovakia, but firefighters successfully extinguished the blaze before it could spread to the historic structure. The incident revived memories of a devastating 2012 fire that caused extensive damage to the medieval castle, one of Slovakia's most important cultural monuments. Krásna Hôrka Castle, located in the Košice region, is a 13th-century fortress that serves as a major tourist attraction and symbol of Slovak heritage. The 2012 fire was particularly destructive, severely damaging the castle's interior and destroying priceless historical artifacts and artwork.
