Few remains of a Frankish castle at the location northwest of the village Agridi of the municipality of Kalavryta, in Aroania mountains.

The chronology of the castle is not known exactly, but it is definitely Frankish and we can assume in was built early in that period, probably in the 13th century or beginning of 14th century.

Structure, Fortification & Buildings

Fort with walled enclosure and two towers on the north and south ends. The north tower, at the peak of the site, survives as a large heap of stone and mortar debris.

It measures approximately: east side 4.50m, south side 6m, and wall thickness 1.50m. The east and the south sides of the site survive in better condition; buildings on the north side are barely visible, and the west side is almost entirely destroyed.

Many blocks have collapsed down the east slopes. A cistern is barely visible under the northeast side of the tower. The platform for the tower, measuring 15m✖10m is constructed of well-built masonry or flat cut stones.

Below the rocky peak of the kastro stands a chapel dedicated to the Transfiguration (built or renovated in 1952) next to other ruins of the fortification.
