Szenyéri Földvár Maradványai are the remains of the medieval Castle of Szenyér in Somogy County, Hungary.

Built in the 15th century, the fortress occupied a strategically important position between the marshlands of the Nagy-Berek and Kis-Balaton regions and became a key defensive stronghold on Hungary’s frontier during the Ottoman period. The castle changed hands several times throughout its history and was involved in numerous conflicts with Ottoman forces.

Its defenders successfully resisted attacks on multiple occasions, but after the fall of nearby strongholds and repeated warfare, the fortress was eventually destroyed by the end of the 17th century. Today, only traces of the original earthworks, ramparts, and defensive ditches remain. Although little of the structure survives, the site is valued as an important historical monument that reflects the region’s medieval and military heritage.
