Beautiful interior with wonderful frescoes, paintings and sculptures. Lots of interesting details, of course it is an important sacred place, a sanctuary. It breathes the history of this land. I highly recommend visiting. The kindest lady guide colorfully tells and brings closer the old times. ko

I remember that there was a thunderstorm and the roof was leaking right in the place where I was sitting, even the light went out. It was just before St. Francis' Day where the priest came out with the initiative to bless the animals. I was also another time and even when I was a child. It is the main object in Legnickie Pole and, in my opinion, it deserves to be commemorated to some extent.

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.
