Bojnice Castle is one of the oldest and most important monuments in Slovakia. It stands on a travertine mound above the city. The first written record of the castle dates back to 1113 – the deed of the Zobor Abbey.
After a long period of stagnation and decline, the Bojnice estate was acquired in 1852 by its last noble owner – Count Ján Pálffy. Count Pálffy decided to rebuild the castle into a romantic castle. He used French Gothic castles of the Loire River Valley, the papal palace in Avignon, Tyrolean Gothic castles and early Renaissance Italian architecture as models.
The castle is renowned for its attractions, including the popular Castle Fairytale, the International Festival of Ghosts and Spirits and the Summer Music Festival.
The romantic castle is also a popular location for filming fairy tale movies, such as Fantaghirò.
