Current status
The masonry of the western tower has been preserved, which still rises to a great height even today, and slit loopholes can be seen. The upper castle, sandwiched between two towers, unfortunately falls apart considerably - especially its connecting palace part. On the farm buildings in the lower castle, the demanding blocking is quite well preserved. The masonry is slowly weathering into the valley, especially above the steep slope. It is possible to ascend to both areas along the bastions and there is a wonderful view from there. However, the castle, like any ruin, is accessible only at your own risk, so be careful.
For more than a year, a civic association has been trying to prevent the castle from completely disintegrating and merging with the surrounding environment, but at least some of its past glory has been preserved for future generations: Diadém - Blatnica Castle Rescue Association, which in 2008 with the PSVaR office in Martin, it carried out various cleaning works of the fortification and minor preparatory works necessary for the implementation of future initial rescue work already on the castle building itself.
