About
The Fiľakovo Castle Museum (Slovak: Hradné múzeum vo Fiľakove) is a historic museum located within the Fiľakovo castle in Slovakia. The museum exhibits objects from the Turkish occupation of Fiľakovo. Parts are also considered important archaeological sites of Fiľakovo.
The idea of creating a Museum in the city originally dates back to 1941, initiated by Franciscan priest K. König, who organized archaeological excavations and efforts to establish the museum. Excavations began in 1944 but were interrupted by World War II. The first regional museum in Fiľakovo was founded in 1951, initially called the District Museum of Local History, later becoming the City Museum in 1960. It was integrated with a district museum for Lučenec in 1967, eventually operating under the name Novohradské múzeum in Fiľakovo.
