Great staff who are more than happy to talk to you about the place history. A LOT of toys, not only for kids but gives nostalgic feeling for adults too. Definitely recommend!

This is more of a huge (truly huge) private collection rather than a museum. There’s basically no information what so ever about the different objects. Also - a lot of the objects are really dusty and are clearly not being preserved. That said it’s a huge and wonderful collection of toys! Every thing from the 40s up until now. Mostly focusing on Barbie, Electric trains and Lego. Well worth the time and money.

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.
