Prepare yourself to go up a hill, although it’s easier than it looks! You can find old furniture, paintings and utensils from a few hundreds of years ago. It even has a dragon story for the kids at end. We had waffles, Bratwurst and a delicious Pumpkin-Potato soup! Overall, a nice journey to the past

What an amazing castle. The hike up to the castle was beautiful. The inside tour of the castle was breathtaking. The food at the restaurant was delicious. My favorite dish was the spaghetti. Highly recommend going to this castle and doing the self guided tour. Oh, you can actually pay to stay at the castle as well.

Great castle ?. 8 euro entry fee. Self guided tour, sign in German and English. Great Cafe for lunch with beautiful view. Cost is a little over norm, but paying for veiw. Food is good. Recommend going in morning before 1130 that's when it starts to get busy.

Didn’t stay the night here, just visited the castle. Stunning and well kept historical castle. Lots of information on plaques and booklets. Spent about 2.5 hours here. Staff was friendly. There are two parking areas along the road. Each has about 10-12 spaces. We visited on a Friday afternoon and there were more than 6 spaces available. You have to walk up a hill (about 10 minute walk). It is a little steep and can be difficult for elderly. There are steps in the castle and I did not see anywhere for wheelchair accessibility. There are also narrow stair cases and areas with disorienting heights, however, these are all optional and can be avoided if one does not want to see them. Cafe inside the castle is very cute and has a wide variety of food and drink. Vegetarian options too. Overall, incredible castle to visit.

This was a fun castle to visit. Apparently it is family-owned and has been restored very well. Expect to spend about 2 hours here. Good amount of stairs. Lots of interesting facts and there is a beautiful terrace restaurant that had great food!

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.
