The Teplica castle near the village of Sklené Teplice is one of the less known medieval castles in the central Pohronie region. So far it hasn’t been the subject of thorough archaeological excavations, but we just have some finds from conducted survey. Its origin presumably dates back to 13th or 14th century, although there are no genuine written sources confirming it. The castle was most intensively inhabited notably in the second half of the 15th century, as documented from original sources dating back to that period. Back then it was under the control of the Brotherhood (Hussite warriors) led by Ján Jiskra of Brandýs. It is confirmed also by archaeological and numismatic finds, incl. the late Gothic seal presented in this paper. The castle started to lose its importance at the beginning of the 16th century and it got extinct in the second half of the 16th century.
