Bálványos Castle (Hungarian: Bálványosvár, Romanian: Cetatea Bálványos) is a castle ruin of national monument status, located in the north of Covasna County, Romania. As a Romanian national monument, its code is CV-II-m-A-13297. "Bálványos" in Hungarian means "idolatrous", so the name of the fortress can be loosely translated into "the Castle with/of the Idols".
