The remains of the castle at the end of a long off-road tongue that extends into the valley of Červený potok about 2km east of the village Borinka
The castle consists of a ridge 15 meters wide and 115 meters long, separated from the surrounding terrain by a low wall and a second ridge (south of the first) 20 meters wide and 112 meters long, separated from the first ditch. The central prism tower with external dimensions of 10x10 meters was built after 17 meters wide and 6 meters deep, carved by a moat.The remains of this tower have been preserved to this day. On the outer part of the ditch have been preserved modest remnants of the brick installation of the entrance bridge.
The Dragon Castle was most probably built on the basis of a royal initiative in the 13th century, at a time when the owners of the royal castle in Pajštún were the counts of Svätý Jur and Pezinok. He probably served as a guard over the road between Stupava and Sv. Jur, between the castles of Pajštún and Biely kameň.
However, historians differ on their views on the origin of the castle. Slivka and Plaček identify the Dragon Castle with the Drach-Kugel-Schloss building from Meyer's engraving from 1563, which depicts the coronation of Emperor Maximilian II. in Bratislava. However, this assumption is rejected by Fiala (1972) and also by Farkaš (1993). Andrej Fiala writes in the magazine Pamiatky a príroda 2/1972: Another object in the form of a castle is drawn above Bratislava and is called DRACH KUGEL SCHLOSS according to the designation. Based on the appearance, it could be a protective tower of an unknown castle from the 13th century. with advanced Renaissance fortifications. Since it is difficult to assume the complete extinction of the object, which in the second half. 16th century it stands intact and at the same time there are no mentions of historical castle in historical sources, it is probably only a temporary building. It could serve a special purpose only during the festivities, similar to the coronation bridge over the Danube. It is possible that this was only a backdrop as a background for knight games. Below the building, a large training ground with riders and the inscription TURNIER PLATZ is clearly depicted.
Also on the basis of archaeological research, it is possible that the Dragon Castle is not only a watchtower, as was assumed for many years, but the Stupava Castle, which is mentioned in historical documents and which was built together with other castles in the area.
Also interesting is the form of the name Dragon's Castle called Dragon's Order, which was founded in 1408 by King Sigismund of Luxembourg, and concentrated in it the most powerful and influential personalities of the then Hungary (Stibor from Stiborice, Peter Čech from Levice, Nicholas Garaj from Devín). From 1409 its members were even the Austrian duke and 24 Knights of Styria. His task was to protect the trade route through the Little Carpathians. It was never the seat of a native estate, as evidenced by the absence of palace buildings. The castle was destroyed by fire in the first half of the 15th century. It was probably destroyed during the Hussite invasions of western Slovakia.
