Fantastic scenery and at the same time a nice experience. As soon as you reach the castle you are in the 21st century of the Middle Ages ?. The hosts are very friendly and the service is great. The food is great. Reaching the room is a bit difficult, but that's just nagging at the highest level, because who can claim to have slept in a castle?? ☺️

This is an old nice castle, which is used as an hotel, surrounded from apple trees and vineyards. They have nice pool with a wonderful view. It is very difficult to get a hotel room, since a lot of people want to stay here.

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.
