Beautiful musical evening in a magnificent setting! It swings! An excellent Italian clarinetist capable of rising very high in the treble without tearing out the ears, 2 marvelous guitarists, 1 original Italian accordionist and a tireless bass cellist ..... an unforgettable atmosphere!

Beautiful exterior but modernized interior housing some works of art. Not for lovers of old stones. I salute all the same the municipality for the effort of rehabilitation in cultural place.

We were not able to visit the castle because it was closed on Mondays, but on the other hand we discussed with the secretary of the town hall who explained to us what there was to visit: it is to be seen. Very well received at the town hall which is right next to the castle

Very nice renovation. Congratulations to the "Friends of the castle". ?? It is a magnificent setting for the exhibitions presented there. Too bad it's a bit remote, but it's worth the trip.

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.
