  • Dear Guests, Welcome to Bojnice Castle!
    Dear guests, welcome to Bojnice Castle! The sightseeing tour begins in the first courtyard at the time indicated on the ticket. Interior sightseeing of the Castle is possible with guided tours only. First room - history of Bojnice Castle. Bojnice Castle is one of the oldest and most significant monuments in Slovakia. Originally a wooden castle that stood on a travertine hill above the town, it was first mentioned in 1113. It was built in stone by the Hont-Poznan family in the 13th century. Since the castle was always in royal possession, it was given to nobles only. Generations of nobility took turns at ruling Bojnice starting with Hont - Poznan, Matúš Čák Trenčiansky, Gileth, Leustach, Noffry, Zapolsky, King Matej Korvín, Thurzo, Pallfy until the last castle owner Jan Pallfy. King Matej Korvín gave the castle to his illegitimate son Johann Korvín in 1489. Legend has it that King Matej loved spending time under the common lime tree, which can be admired outside the entrance to the castle. He would beginn to dictate his documents with "Sub nostris dilectis tiliis bojniciensibus", which translated means "under our beloved lime tree". From 1637 the castle belonged to the last noble family, the Pálffys. Under their ruling, the castle was rebuilt in various styles - gothic, renaissance and baroque. The last Neo-Gothic reconstruction was carried out according to the models of French castles on the river Loire and lasted 22 years. This reconstruction, which was supervised by Count Pallfy himself gave the castle its present appearance. Unfortunately, Count Pálffy did not live to see its completion.
