One of the most interesting buildings in Slanské. The roof from the 15th century is also not often seen. Unfortunately, the city management sees it differently and that is why it is only open thanks to the voluntary activity of people, especially around the Parish Charity Slaný. Dik belongs to them.

A beautiful Gothic church built on the site of an earlier Romanesque basilica. I also recommend a tour of the interior (there are open days throughout the year).

They drove by. We stopped and walked a bit through the streets of the city. It was beautiful.

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.
