The Museum of Slavonia is the oldest museum in Slavonia and covers all aspects of the history of the region and that of Osijek. Its a great place to ramble about. Recently a museum of Archaeology has been established and the archaeological collectuon is in the process of being relocated.

Very nice and spacious two storey museum. At the bottom is a large spacious hall with wooden benches for seating. The exhibit material is mostly upstairs. They have various objects from the Stone, Bronze Age, Roman times and mostly the ancient past from these areas. Some stone objects even date back to 5000 BC. They have artifacts, ornaments, pottery, bones, weapons ... Very interesting and instructive.

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.
