The farm can only be visited by appointment. There is a path around the castle, very imposing. And the goats like it there too: D

It's a shame that we can't visit ?

Unfortunately, this time I cannot rate correctly A large number of white signs hang on the (wide open) main gate. Suggestion: a simple "entry prohibited for unauthorized persons" would be more understandable for everyone than a sign with a penalty of over 500 EUR for non-compliance with corona measures and a "only access for guided tours". Unfortunately, there is no information about when these will take place. So it is not necessarily immediately understandable that not even the site is allowed to be entered.

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.
