This is astonishing beautiful place. The grace of the icons... The peace and calm in the atmosphere are something so wonderful I have nowhere else felt. My Husband and I are extremely grateful for the very kind elder man at the gate who let us in, made possible to visit the beautiful church. We expected that in best case we may perhaps look into the church from a entrance, but we were guided and also let set candles and pray there. I recommened every (esp. christian) person visit this place to pray.

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.
