The castle in Bojnice is a romantic, neo-Gothic building standing on a tuff hill. Inside, original chambers have been preserved, including a Turkish one from the 17th century, a dining room with Viennese porcelain and a winter garden. Under the castle there is a vast cave, which is open to the public.
The history of the picturesque Bojnice stronghold goes back to the 6th century. A Slavic watchtower stood here then. Later it was transformed into a castle, which was ruled by the most important families of Hungarian magnates. The last owners were the Palffy family, which in the second half of the nineteenth century rebuilt the defensive structure into a romantic residence.
The castle in Bojnice is modeled on the French castles of the Loire valley. A lot of original Gothic and Renaissance elements have been preserved in its block. The interior is occupied by an artistic and historical museum. In addition to furnished castle interiors, there are also artistic products from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. The treasure of the local collection is the late Gothic Bojnice altar made in Florence. The tourist route also includes a cave under the castle with a rich stalactite garment.
