Nice sacred place, must be visited. Many famous people tombs here. Holy Trinity Alexander Nevskiy Lavra is a monastery located in the surroundings of St. Peterburg, you can reach it by city transport easily.The Cathedral features a large dome and two bell towers - very impressive inside and out.

I loved it, typecall for the time perriod and artistic. I also saw other cemeteries in the surroundings of the monastery and all together they are very beautiful. Some more in decay than others. All have Russian cultural element and I spent some hours exploring.

Beckov Castle

The Beckov castle stands on a steep 50 m tall rock in the village Beckov. The dominance of the rock and impression of invincibility it gaves, challenged our ancestors to make use of these assets. The result is a remarkable harmony between the natural setting and architecture.

The castle first mentioned in 1200 was originally owned by the King and later, at the end of the 13th century it fell in hands of Matúš Èák. Its owners alternated - at the end of the 14th century the family of Stibor of Stiborice bought it.

The next owners, the Bánffys who adapted the Gothic castle to the Renaissance residence, improved its fortifications preventing the Turks from conquering it at the end of the 16th century. When Bánffys died out, the castle was owned by several noble families. It fell in decay after fire in 1729.

The history of the castle is the subject of different legends.
