Dominant and majestic. This is Beckov Castle. It grows out of the rock, it is back with it, as it is with it, the story that it is wearing. Beckov was the castle of kings, princes, and knights, witnessing the patronage of the mighty and the suffering of the weak. He saw everything! He was like that, and he's an impoverished Guardian of Považia.

HISTORY

Beckov Castle was probably built in the middle of the 13th century and should serve to defend the north-western border of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of Hungary. The castle was originally the property of the Hungarian kings, later it became its owner Matúš Čák Trenčiansky, who deserved to gain him. Beckov was an important center of trade and crafts at that time. The greatest development, however, was recorded at the time when his master Stibor was behind Stiborice. Beckov became a gothic gothic mansion with a beautifully decorated chapel. Later, Stibor's granddaughter, Katarina, became a castle palace with the knight Paul Pavlov, and the Bánfi family built new fortifications on the castle and the "Delta bastion". Building adjustments to the castle helped to face and resist the attacks of the Tatars and Turks. The Bánfi family died out of the sword, and the disagreements between several heirs resulted in the gradual decline of the castle, which culminated in a devastating fire in 1729. Ruins remained of the majestic Beck. Today, thanks to the ongoing and ongoing reconstructions, you can also penetrate into the magical world of the Middle Ages in the bowels of the impoverished Guardian of Považia.
