A romantic castle with towers and spires that looks straight out of a fairytale, rebuilt in the style of French Loire chateaux in the early 1900s by Count Ján Pálffy. Tours show the richly furnished rooms, the chapel and a cave under the castle.


In spring the International Festival of Ghosts and Spirits takes place here. Next to the castle is the oldest zoo in Slovakia. Bojnice is a small spa town in central Slovakia.
