Matúšovo kráľovstvo - Úvod
The national cultural monument Trenčín Castle is part of the Trenčín Museum. Its history dates back to 10-11. The first written mention dates back to 1113. It was part of the line of border fortifications of the Hungarian state, guarding important fords on the river Váh and the Carpathian passes, through which passed trade routes connecting the area of northern Hungary and Central Slovak mining towns with Bohemia, Moravia , Silesia and Poland. In the following centuries, it became the seat of the border committee, the royal and later aristocratic county. His most important period is the reign of Matúš Čák. In 1780 the castle burned down and as a ruin it was the dominant feature of Trenčín until the middle of the 20th century, when the reconstruction began.
Quite nicely painted, it fits exactly into the 15x10 cm photo frame, a few photos:
