After many years we visited the beautiful Petershagen Castle at the weekend. It's great to see what has happened here in the last few years to bring the castle back to life. We only got a first impression of the public area and it leaves us wanting more. The guest room is super rustic and fits perfectly into the authentic ambience - the vaulted seating areas in particular are a hit. The beer garden also invites you to linger on nice days. Great work has been done here. Unfortunately the season is almost over but we'll be back.

A beautiful castle under reconstruction under difficult regulations. It is an admirable work that is currently being done there. The castle offers self-service drinks and food in the beer garden. There is a rustic feel-good atmosphere both in the building and in the inner courtyard. The hosts are very friendly and care about the well-being of the guests. We keep our fingers crossed that all upcoming activities are well received will be found and the castle will be able to take new paths at some point. Thanks also for the interesting tour!

Was there on the day of the open monument and I have to say, I really liked it! The new owners' concept sounds very promising. I'm sure it's in good hands now!

Super nice place. Is still being renovated, but the gastronomy is open and the staff is super friendly. Here you can linger and let your soul dangle on a hike or bike tour to strengthen yourself. Recommended. ??

Beckov Castle

The Beckov castle stands on a steep 50 m tall rock in the village Beckov. The dominance of the rock and impression of invincibility it gaves, challenged our ancestors to make use of these assets. The result is a remarkable harmony between the natural setting and architecture.

The castle first mentioned in 1200 was originally owned by the King and later, at the end of the 13th century it fell in hands of Matúš Èák. Its owners alternated - at the end of the 14th century the family of Stibor of Stiborice bought it.

The next owners, the Bánffys who adapted the Gothic castle to the Renaissance residence, improved its fortifications preventing the Turks from conquering it at the end of the 16th century. When Bánffys died out, the castle was owned by several noble families. It fell in decay after fire in 1729.

The history of the castle is the subject of different legends.
