Glory be to God our Father and His Son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour forever who liveth amongst us through His Holy Spirit. Amen For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son,Jesus Christ, that whoever believes in Him will be saved. It is as the scripture says- he who believes( in Jesus Christ)- from him will flow streams of living water. May the living waters flow forth from this church! Amen

#28Weert St Martins church from the 15 Century. Was closed even though the bells were ringing out I could not get in - on a Sunday. So I guess it's only open for service. Aparently the vault paintings are worth a view. #railthetrails

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.
