厂迟谤别膷苍辞 Castle

Slovakia


Folded into a bend in the 厂迟谤别膷苍辞 River, this medieval castle offers stupendous views over the surrounding valleys. Written mentions of 厂迟谤别膷苍辞 Castle date back to 1384, though historians believe it may be hundreds of years older. The complex expanded from a square tower and moat into the lofty complex here today. Visits are by hour-long Slovak-language guided tour only (half-hourly in peak season) but information booklets are offered in several languages. Last entry is an hour before closing time.

厂迟谤别膷苍辞 Castle is one of many fortifications built across Slovakia from the 12th century onwards, usually gifted to nobles as a reward for their service. Following devastating attacks in the 17th century, 厂迟谤别膷苍辞 Castle lay in ruins before restorations between 1978 and 1995 returned it to its former glory.

厂迟谤别膷苍辞 is 10km west of 沤ilina and regular local buses ply the route. Parking at the foot of the hill costs 鈧2.
