The most visited chateau in Slovakia was owned by the famous conqueror Matúsˇ Cˇák of Trencˇín. Later it often changed its owners. After rebuilding at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries the chateau acquired its current shape similar to the style of the French romantic chateaus of the Loire valley. The chateau is encircled by a giant-tree park.
A botanic garden, ZOO and a castle cave also belong to the park. In the chateau interiors collections of neo-gothic style equipment, historic furniture, porcelain, pictures and housing accessories are on display. The castle chapel from 1662 with a wonderful stucco vault and fresco paintings is one of the original parts of the chateau. Various events and special programs are organized in the castle, e.g. the International Festival of Ghosts and Spirits, Knights’ Days and others.
