Lokalizačné kritériá uplatňované pri stavaní historických hradov a zámkov na Slovensku/Localisation Criteria Applied for the Construction of Historic Castles and Chateaux in Slovakia

Abstract

This article assesses the location factors involved in the construction of Slovak castles and chateaux, because the location is not coincidental but associated with anthropogenically created or altered land units. We primarily concentrated on assessing the natural factors that influenced these locations, and then evaluated the following variables; the type of natural landscape and its altitude and elevation above the nearest erosion base point.
