Taking a walk from the town up till the castle was pleasant! Inside the castle is a restaurant, cafe and you can visit for free just to see the scenery. The view is incredible, you can see both side of Bad Münster and the rocky mountains behind. And there are the vineyards all over on the hillsides.

Very scenic castle and village with a cool winding river. Nice to walk, paddle or ride bicycle around.

Cute little castle to walk around with 360° views of the town below. There is a lot of parking and a resturant on site as well.

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.
