Trenčín Castle (Slovak: Trenčiansky hrad) is one of the most impressive castles in Slovakia and a landmark of the city of Trenčín. It stands majestically on a steep cliff above the city and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape of the Váh Valley.

Today's Trencsén Castle rises above the Vág valley in the heart of the city of Trencsén, on the limestone cliff of Várhegy. The rather large castle is relatively well renovated.

Attention: The upper entrance to the castle from the forest was closed during our visit in winter, so it might never be open. In winter, you might have to enter the castle from the town below. Also, they told us the last entry to the castle was at 3 pm. We had expected the online information (4:30 pm) and arrived at 3:45 pm when we were told this. So, in winter, it's best to arrive earlier and enter from the town below, not from the forest above.
