"DIVIN, a castle in the Hither Circle of the Danube, in Lower Hungary, upon a very steep rock. In 1576 it was taken by the Turks, who kept it till 1593. In the year 1674, it was taken from the rebels Balassa, and demolished; so that at present it is no more than a heap of rubbish. From it a place in the neighbourhood takes its name, in whose jurisdiction it stands. The inhabitants employ themselves in agriculture and hunting." (Seally, 1787, s.v. “Vidin”)
