Glory be to God our Father and His Son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour forever who liveth amongst us through His Holy Spirit. Amen For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son,Jesus Christ, that whoever believes in Him will be saved. It is as the scripture says- he who believes( in Jesus Christ)- from him will flow streams of living water. May the living waters flow forth from this church! Amen

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.
