Bzovík, Slovakia
N/A
Large historical castle in a nice place and nice lookouts. There is a possibility to enter some rooms (by stairs) and shows how this place used to work many years ago. Parking nearby is limited, but but should be possible. Recommended.

5 stars - what else can such historical building get. 1 star however for the reconstruction made so far. It is a shame to have the castle filled with all that ironed concrete, electric wiring paths and left-behind boulders. Not to mention all the places where safety measures are lacking. The castle itself could not deny its history. It's placing (in a mountain range) clearly shows that it was a fortified monastery/church when it was founded and only later it got turned into a eal\ castle. The place is a memoir for the Hont tribe and the Balassa families - also for a denied-and-twisted-out history time.
Perfect place to visit on sunny autumn day
After reconstruction, building material left behind. Some parts look like somebody forgot to complete the job. But it is still easy to find original parts, so it has some magic. I would say 3 plus stars.
romantic monastery ruins, quite well conserved, voluntary contribution fee for access, but without a guide
Fascinating castle ruins. While I was there, there was no entry fee and no one else there. Just walked in and explored without supervision. It did appear however there is some progress towards restoring it.
An impressive ruin of a medieval fortified monastery complemented by concrete elements from the reconstruction in the 1980s.
Nice example of fortification. Clearly visible building phases. More propagation and care would help.
