27 November 1593 Taken backZnovu dobytý

In the autumn of 1593 the long war between the Habsburgs and the Ottomans opened again, and an imperial army under Christoph von Teuffenbach came up to Fiľakovo; Miklós Pálffy arrived with some seven thousand more men. The Ottoman garrison pulled back into the upper castle and surrendered on 27 November. The frontier rolled south again, the castle was repaired and strengthened, and Nógrád county moved its business up onto the rock. The seventeenth century was the best Fiľakovo ever had.Na jeseň 1593 sa dlhá vojna medzi Habsburgovcami a Osmanmi rozhorela nanovo a k Fiľakovu pritiahlo cisárske vojsko Krištofa von Teuffenbacha; s ďalšími asi siedmimi tisícmi mužov prišiel Mikuláš Pálffy. Osmanská posádka sa stiahla do horného hradu a 27. novembra kapitulovala. Hranica sa posunula späť na juh, hrad opravili a zosilnili a Novohradská stolica presunula svoje úradovanie hore na skalu. Sedemnáste storočie bolo pre Fiľakovo najlepšie, aké kedy malo.
