Un castello bellissimo contornato dalle sue mura e dalle Alpi della Val Venosta, purtroppo non siamo riusciti a visitarlo all'interno per questioni di tempo... ma sicuramente sarà da ritornarci appena ne avremo l occasione.

Beautiful castle but unfortunately we could not visit it inside because it was closed but very suggestive and a view of the peaks of the Val Venosta ... to return as soon as we have the opportunity

Wonderful castle, spacious rooms with great acoustics - top location for singing days, cultural courses, exams, etc. Make sure you plan a tour of the castle! A wide range of supporting programs in the region: a marble tour in Lasa is recommended. Rooms (especially single) in the guest house are also quiet, clean, pleasant and functional. Cooperation with the course organization is extremely professional, personal and efficient. All in all, Goldrain Castle is a very recommendable address - we'll be back soon!

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.
