Hainburg Castle, also known as Heimenburg, was built by Henry III the Holy Roman Emperor around 1050 to protect the traffic in Danube. It was enlarged in the mid-13th century. The castle was besieged in 1619-1620 by Hungarian army and conquered in 1683 by Ottomans.
After the new residence was built in 1742 the old castle was left to decay. Today Hainburg castle can freely be visited. A nice castle ruin, giving great views over the medieval town below and the surrounding countryside.
Stobi was an ancient town of Paeonia located near Gradsko. It is considered by many to be the most famous archaeological site in North Macedonia. Stobi was built where the Erigon (Crna River) joins the Axios (Vardar), making it strategically important as a center for both trade and warfare.
Stobi developed from a Paeonian settlement established in the Archaic period. It is believed that in 217 BCE, Philip V annexed Paionia during his campaign against the Dardani who had entered Bylazora, the largest Paeonian town.
The city was first mentioned in writing by the historian Livy, in connection with a victory of Philip V of Macedon over the Dardani in 197 BC. In 168 BC, the Romans defeated Perseus and Macedonia was divided into four nominally independent republics. In 148 BC, the four areas of Macedonia were brought together in a unified Roman province. In the reign of Augustus the city grew in size and population.
