The castle is a climb up the steep hill, but well worth the effort. There are tremendous views in all directions. You can fully understand why they decided to build a castle at that point, as it dominates the valley. The grounds and walls are interesting and beautiful in the sunshine. Climb up to the top of the tower and be ready for excellent photo opportunities across the landscape. There was a tour of the inner rooms available however it was only in Slovak. They had a quartet of musicians playing which was very good. There was a thunderstorm in the afternoon which caught a few people out, so be prepared.

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 funny fountain is located in the center of Sturovo square. Vodnik (water sprite) is getting out of the well and spitting water, being surprised where he appeared. The water streams are adjusted in such a way that it looks like it is jumping from one place to another. As the Vodnik is a favorite character of Czech and Slovak fairytales, usually kind and positive one, the fountain is loved by kids. But during my stay in Trencin I saw plenty of adults enjoying it and having a lot of fun too. I also liked it.
