Laborets Castle

The castle ruins in the medieval village of Goriany was probably the domain of the legendary Prince Laborets, a Slavic chief who ruled along the Uzh River in the Tisza Basin in the 9th Century. The Magyars defeated him in 896 during their migration to the Danube Basin and the formation of the Hungarian Kingdom under Arpad. Laborets initially escaped from the Magyars but was chased down and executed along the banks of the river in Slovakia that now carries his name.
