The chateau, the Renaissance treasure of the city of Bytč, deserves the attention of visitors to northwestern Slovakia. It is one of the few Renaissance palaces in Slovakia that has retained its original appearance, unchanged by subsequent reconstructions.

It was built in the years 1571-1574 on the older gothic foundations of a water castle. A massive building with a square floor plan with a courtyard in the middle, arcades and round towers. The walls of the arcades are decorated with wall paintings - images of voivodes. In the middle of the north wing rises a six-story tower with Renaissance ornaments made of graphite.

The next building in the palace complex is the so-called The wedding palace, one of a kind in Slovakia, built in 1601 by its owner, the Hungarian palotine Juraj Thurzo. The wedding feasts of his seven daughters took place in the palace. Currently, there are exhibition rooms here, and the palace is the seat of the State Regional Archives.
At the beginning of the 18th century, Juraj Janosik, a Slovak folk hero, served as a soldier in the palace in Bytčy.

A beautiful complex, only if I understood one note correctly, only employees of that institution are asked to enter.
