Abstract

The castle of Čabraď (Csábrág, SK) was used from the 13th century until 1812, and a significant part of the finds can be dated to the last period of its life. The stove tiles in this category belonged to simple stoves with no relief decoration at all, at which they mostly varied glazes or the placement of cornice and corner tiles, which imitate architectural elements. The research of these rather late stove tiles is quite neglected, although, we already have more written or pictorial sources that can provide us a clearer picture of the last furnaces of the castle.
