A large garden centre with lots of good quality plants, garden equipment and various other ornaments, pots, etc. Good service and good quality. The car park is quite small and gets crowded during the weekends abs holidays.

Beautiful, well cared for plants, kind staff, clean store and great selection. Love just coming here for a walk around and then pick up a lil plant to take home.

Very nice place to find probably any plant you could think of for your garden, balcony or window shelf :) a bit on expensive side though... For example 6x strawberry plants are 99DKK

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.
