THEY BECOME SYMBOLS EVOKING LOVE FOR THE COUNTRY OF ONE’S BIRTH. LITTLE SLOVAKIA HAS A GREATER WEALTH OF HISTORICAL BUILDINGS THAN MANY OTHER COUNTRIES. IN PARTICULAR WHEN IT COMES TO THE CASTLES, MANORS AND MANSIONS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE REPUBLIC. IN THE PAST THERE WERE ALMOST 200 MEDIEVAL CASTLES, LARGE AND SMALL, STANDING IN STRATEGIC SPOTS. TOWN CASTLES FORM A GROUP OF THEIR OWN, HAVING BEEN BUILT MAINLY TO DEFEND THE RICH MINING TOWNS IN CENTRAL SLOVAKIA. THEY ENCOMPASSED THE MUNICIPAL PARISH CHURCH, THE TOWN HALL AND THE RESIDENCE OF THE MINING CHAMBER COUNT. IN THE LAST THIRD OF THE 16TH CENTURY A NEW KIND OF ARISTOCRATIC RESIDENCE PREVAILED IN THE FORM OF RENAISSANCE MANORS AND MANSIONS. THE NOBILITY BUILT MORE COMFORTABLE HOMES FOR ITSELF, SURROUNDED BY LARGE GREEN PARKS. THE MANOR HOUSES WERE RECONSTRUCTED FROM LITTLE OLD CASTLES, OR BECAME NEW CENTRES OF AGRICULTURAL ESTATES. MANY OF THEM UNDERWENT REPEATED ALTERATIONS. THE BEST PRESERVED ARE THOSE BUILT IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY WITH A MIXTURE OF THE TYPICAL FEATURES OF VARIOUS ARCHITECTURAL STYLES REVIVED FROM THE PAST. 6. STREČNO CASTLE 14.
