Abstract

Near the castle of Gesztes a smaller medieval building is located, which is called small castle. According to the presumptions, this could have been the castle of the Csák family built in the late 13th century as a predecessor of today’s Castle of Gesztes. The excavations led by István Feld in 2003, and 2005–2006 uncovered almost the whole site, produced different results from what was expected. A 15th-century building was unearthed, which had three rooms and had two stoves made of stove tiles. The present study aims to publish the find assemblage of the excavations.
