Trenchin Castle

Trencin Castle is located on the territory of the city of the same name and is one of the oldest and largest castles in Slovakia. It is located on a mountain, the foot of which is strewn with many cozy houses. The castle was built in 1069 in the Renaissance style, now on its territory there are dozens of excursions a day, as many tourists passing through the town can not help but notice the powerful building rising on top of a sheer cliff.

Trenchan fortress was built as a defensive structure and resembles an ordinary medieval castle. It changed hands until 1412, when it became a free royal city. During the great fire of 1709, the historic building almost completely burned down, only the ancient tower, made in the Romanesque style, located in the center of the courtyard, survived. After long restorations, Trencin Castle has almost reached its original appearance.

A stone path leads to the main entrance to the building, and a parish church is located nearby on a small hill.
