Most tourists come to Slovakia not because of ski resorts or sanatoriums in an area where clean air can literally be drunk. Although, of course, these kinds of pastime have many fans. But first of all they go to Slovakia for the sake of architectural impressions. In the country there are more than 170 medieval castles.
However, they are all kept in a different state - there are shiny palaces and ruined fortresses. But they are all different: among the castles of Slovakia there are also gloomy Gothic castles with dungeons and huge parks, and modest monasteries, and lush palaces with Renaissance architecture.
Among the castles of Slovakia are a lot of "high-rise". Thus, the Oravsky Castle (Oravsky Podzamok) rises on a steep cliff above the Orava River at an altitude of 112 m and strikes the eye with a composition of three separate buildings "attached" to the profile of the rock. A Strechnyanskiy Grad hovers on a cliff at an altitude of 420 m above sea level.

The bloody horrors of the past have become a well-sold legend - there are enough tourists in the Chakhtinsky castle.

Every self-respecting castle (and in Slovakia, if you still do not know, just these) is simply obliged to have your own ghost. Well, every self-respecting ghost (and in the Slovak castles ... well, you understand) must certainly have an eerie, dramatic story, if possible - with elements of romance and unhappy love.
Therefore, a rare tourist will fly from Slovakia without two or three variations of the tragic and romantic story of the "white Pani". For example, in the castle of Moshovce the ghost of the countess, who married against her will and died from grief after the execution of her lover, dwells. And her colleague from the castle Devin was at one time the daughter of his owner - a girl of exceptional beauty, withered from lack of exercise and fresh air in the tower, where her own father sharpened her, to hide from numerous competitors hands and hearts.
Bojnice Castle, Betliar, Budmeritsa, Zvolensky Castle - all worth visiting.
