Nice few hours to visit whilst in Säärema. Can go inside some of the windmills and experience it. Ticket is fair for family of 4 - two adults and 2 children.

We didn't go inside. The place is perhaps located in the middle of nowhere!

Not very welcoming, not only we were unable to order any food but for the inconvenience they also tried to charge money for visit even though we were only interested in food and nothing else. Not recommended

Nice lunch her for affordable price with great staff.

Definitely a big part of history, but it'll take about 15-30 min to look at the windmills and there's not much else to do. There are some wooden car-sculptures for children tho.

Trencín Castle

Trenčín Castle is relatively large renovated castle, towering on a steep limestone cliff directly above the city of Trenčín. It is a dominant feature not only of Trenčín, but also of the entire Považie region. The castle is a national monument.

History of the castle cliff dates back to the Roman Empire, what is proved by the inscription on the castle cliff proclaiming the victory of Roman legion against Germans in the year 179.

Today’s castle was probably built on the hill-fort. The first proven building on the hill was the Great Moravian rotunda from the 9th century and later there was a stone residential tower, which served to protect the Kingdom of Hungary and the western border. In the late 13th century the castle became a property of Palatine Matúš Csák, who became Mr. of Váh and Tatras.

Matúš Csák of Trenčín built a tower, still known as Matthew’s, which is a dominant determinant of the whole building.
