About the Castle
The dominant of Trenčín and the whole Middle-Váh-Valley (Považie) keeps guard over the old mercantile routes, connecting the Mediterranean area with the Baltic and Northern Europe.
On the place of today´s castle, during the era of the Great Moravia, there was a bulwark, serving as a community centre. Contemporary castle was built in the 11th century as a borderland stronghold to protect important fords on the river Váh, as well as Carpathian passes, through which mercantile routes led. They would link the territory of Northern Hungary and Middle-Slovak mining towns with Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and Poland. In the centuries that followed, it became the border settlement, royal and later aristocratic county.
Today there are exhibition rooms and many of the museum´s expositions inside the castle.
