A very interesting historical landmark and surroundings. We enjoyed a lovely and tasty lunch lunch.

Fine food and snacks,, but the building is very nice, you can go into a room next to the cafe and there you’ll find some more old rooms from the fort.

Camped here for one night. Quite a lovely place, worth a visit! We were in luck with a quiet moment, apparently it can get very crowded during the weekends and holidays. Sanitary building was kept neat. There was also a possibility to keep any groceries cold in a fridge and take shelter in case of bad weather. The only minus that stood out was the little space between the camping spots.

Stopped here for a quick lunch on a cycling trip. Had a salmon club which was delicious as well as a radler and a coffee. No English menu but the staff helped me through it. Went to pay with visa (all I had on me) and we learned it was not possible. They were gracious enough to provide my lunch on the house! Bottom line great food and hospitable staff!

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.
