Overview

One of Slovakia's best-preserved castles — a Fugger-built Renaissance fortress with vast vaulted cellars, a falconry and richly furnished period rooms. Set in Western Slovakia, it rewards an unhurried visit — its walls, views and local history, with cafés or a village nearby to round out the trip; April – October is the pleasantest time to come.

Why visit: The most complete castle interiors in the country, plus falconry displays.

History: Rebuilt in the 1530s by the Fugger banking family as a fortified warehouse; later the Pálffy family seat for four centuries.
