Located a few miles west of Bratislava. Devín Castle ranks among the most important archeological sites in Central Europe. Located at the banks of the Danube, where once the Danube and Amber Roads intersected, it watches over the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers. Archeological research proves the area was settled about 7000 years ago and has since then been populated by one group or another, almost without interruption until today. Already during prehistory, it was a fortified center of power. During the Roman period the first several brick buildings were erected here. The first written source on Devín dates back to 864 and mentions a “Dowina Castle”. The Great Moravian period saw the erection of a church with colorful interior wall painting on castle grounds. Throughout the Middle Ages the Castle was an important border fortress, often passing from one noble family to another. In 1809 the Castle was intentionally demolished using explosives. In 1961 Devín Castle was declare

Devin Castle is a castle atop a hill at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers. Inside the castle is a sprawling landscape of gardens, pastures, fortification walls, staircases and courtyards in varying states of repair and disrepair. The climb up to the top of the tower and throughout the castle is perfectly safe though. Some of the castle ground buildings have been renovated and contain excellent exhibits of history of castle as well as a quick run through the history of Moravia up to the fall of the iron curtain in Czechoslovakia. The elevated position of the castle over the ground be made it an ideal position for observing the trade routes on the river. Views of Danube and Moravia, especially at the confluence of the two rivers, and city below are stunning. Makes a great half day visit from Bratislava.

New exhibition of Nestville Park is a unique project reviving the tourist industry of the northern Spis region. Its aim is to depict and show its visitors the history, traditional crafts, exceptional skillfulness of people living in this territory as well as tools used in individual time periods. These eras and artifacts are gradually displayed in separate parts of the exhibition. The picturesque village of Hniezdne is located only 3.1 miles to the west of Stara Lubovna. This village was first mentioned in writing in 1286, and in the past, it was the smallest royal town of the contemporary Hungary and it was granted an off-license.

If I had to describe a fairytale castle, I would describe this one!! Its light pink sandstone towers and crenellated turrets make this romantic castle the most visited, and one of the greatest tourist attractions in Slovakia. Rising above the town, and steps away from the hotel in which our tour group stayed, it was originally built in the 12th century. In the 13th century, it passed into the hands of the most powerful Hungarian warlord of the time. In 1527, the Thurzo family converted the castle into a comfortable Renaissance residence. It's last owner, Count Paiffy, remodeled it into a stately edifice resembling the castles in France's Loire valley. There are many stairs to climb, in order to reach all the floors and levels, but it is worth it. Just take your time. Each level is just as amazing as the last. The Golden Hall features a magnificent, intricate ceiling made of pine and covered with gold leaf. It was modeled on the interior of the Venetian academy of Arts. Many of the walls feature some of the most intricately carved wooden paneling I have ever seen. All the many levels feature gorgeous furniture and valuable paintings. And look down at some remarkable flooring beneath your feet! The top floor features the Knight's Hall. The castle sits in a large park with many rare species of trees, including what is claimed to be the oldest lime tree (600 years old) in Slovakia. A tour of a cave recently discovered is included in the tour. Skip that part. It is dark and dumb! The cave aside, this is the most romantic and beautiful castle that my spouse and I have ever visited! DO NOT MISS VISITING !!

This place is a must, if you are in the area. It is the only one palace in Slovakia that remained intact as it was during the time when it was inhabited.
