"A larger area of ​​Trenčín Castle will be available to tourists, so they will also have access to those parts of the castle that have not been available to the public until now. The two treasuries will be useful especially during the events of a more significant nature, when the waiting time is shortened, "explained Martina Lamačková from the Regional Development Department.
