En välskött kyrka som arrangerar underhållning för allmänheten utöver sina vanliga åtagande.

A wonderful church dating back from 1881, built in a strong neo-gothic feel and refurbished several times over the past few decades, most recently in 2013. The interior is welcoming and the walls are decorated well; there are sermons and concerts all year round and the parish nearby offers more services (such as pensioner's breakfast) if one is a member. I would've wished that the church was a little older, but the old church (from the 14th century or so) had to be demolished one-hundred years ago as it was too small. Since nothing can be done to reverse that decision, I'll award this church five stars for everything else which it offers.

Nice church with some really old gravestones outside on the lawn. Church originally built around 1260. Been rebuilt after that. The church tower is from 1617.

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.
