Having seen from the highway, this small castle lost in the plain, we went out at the following ramp: we must look for it to find it, but it's worth it! it is magnificently preserved, although it can only be seen from the outside.

We were there, we talked to a gentleman from the farm, he took us to his house to give us water for the girl, he explained to us the dangers, if we jumped the fence, he told us that there were people who did not respect her, we understand, I comment that there are people who bother to warn of these dangers, who only do it to avoid risks, and that they are responsible if something happens, it is true that there are people who come from the city and believe they are entitled to everything, go to the country people as legs, and they have a big heart, it is their job and they have to be respected, they do it for our own safety, they also explained things about the palace, great people, let's respect them. A hug for them.

Very unpleasant and disappointed we stopped my wife and I with my dog ​​on the road to take some pictures and we were approached by a man in a car to invite us to leave since it is a private property which of course we knew since they have all the castle full of posters and we know how to read, we have never entered any enclosure and as far as I know the road is not private or you have forgotten to put the eighty signs along the way, since when can you get way to stop a moment, bravo for the hospitality of the people of the villages are charming most a shame to find characters so they leave a bad taste in your mouth after a nice morning walk in the countryside because my assessment is that it is a place where you do not seem better

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.
