Pretty disappointed. Arrived at 1700 and bought tickets figuring an hour was long enough to see everything. At 1730 the clerk who sold us the tickets said they were closing in 15 minutes and we needed to finish up. She never said they were closing 15 minutes early when we purchased the tickets. The gift shop was also already closed at 1730, so I wasn't able to buy anything. What we saw was ok, but losing 25% of our time really cut into our experience.

One of the most beautiful manors in Lithuania. Inside you can find out about the former owners of this manor Oginskis. Enjoy a walk in the beautiful park. The place is steeped in history.

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.
