Small castle, can only be visited during public events, the performances are always worth a visit.
Meine Meinung (3 years ago)
The castle may have been quite nice in the 17th century, but unfortunately I misplaced my time machine. Nowadays it's just rubbish, even with all the romantic feelings, if you rate something like this with 5☆, you probably also rate an ancient plum toilet with 5☆ ?‍♂️ 3☆ is already max. If you found my recession helpful or you liked it, please give me ?

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.
