Small local history museum. Nearby on the lawn lies a boat from the ferry Estonia. Apparently it was torn off by a storm. Unfortunately, it didn’t save anyone. It was washed up by the current to the local coast.

An interesting small museum where you can learn about the local life. Great hostess!

Good museum. In some ways even more interesting than Kärdla's.

Museum house with a good view. Many things were far away, but some were familiar things from 20-50 years ago. A moment to meet the past and a reminder.

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.
