Fantastic and atmospheric state in a beautiful location. Worth a visit. Support Staten and Stinzen.

A beautiful piece of history with a beautiful forest. The area is ideal for beautiful walks. The kruidhof in Buitenpost is also worth a visit.

Prachtige buitenplaats en schitterend authentiek ingerichte vertrekken. Je waant je echt terug in de tijd. Heel bijzonder.

Weinig mensen ontmoet hier in de tuin. Of het is onbekend of de 1€ entree houdt mensen tegen. De architect heeft er wat moois van gemaakt. Het ontwerp is nog steeds na jaren te herkennen. Bijzondere elementen: een berg, hertenkamp, waterpartij en kruisbrug. Een uurtje of 2 kun je zo in de tuin doorbrengen.

Trencín Castle

Trenčín Castle is relatively large renovated castle, towering on a steep limestone cliff directly above the city of Trenčín. It is a dominant feature not only of Trenčín, but also of the entire Považie region. The castle is a national monument.

History of the castle cliff dates back to the Roman Empire, what is proved by the inscription on the castle cliff proclaiming the victory of Roman legion against Germans in the year 179.

Today’s castle was probably built on the hill-fort. The first proven building on the hill was the Great Moravian rotunda from the 9th century and later there was a stone residential tower, which served to protect the Kingdom of Hungary and the western border. In the late 13th century the castle became a property of Palatine Matúš Csák, who became Mr. of Váh and Tatras.

Matúš Csák of Trenčín built a tower, still known as Matthew’s, which is a dominant determinant of the whole building.
