My favourite Glasgow museum, I love it. Can't wait till it's fully opened again!

The museum remains open but the 'Winter Garden' is currently closed due to structural problems. Glass has fallen & they are worried that more could. I understand they plan to undertake a full condition survey of the structure and glazing shortly pursuant to obtaining funding and appointing a contractor to complete full structural refurbishment.

It's a great museum, I really enjoyed it. There is a café in the greenhouse with rare plants. I think it's a good place for photo shoots.

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.
