The building was erected in 13th century on the top of a natural,112 meters high mountain, rock formation called "castle cliff", surrounded by the Orava river.
We can also see few tunells drilled within the rock, that link the parts of a complex structure.
The original form of the castle was in romanesque and gothic style but it was rebuilt and extentioned several times by later constantly changing owners, across the centuries.
Very interesting feature of the castle is a baroque chapel with an altar from 18th century.
Visiting this charming place was definitely one of the most exciting things of last holidays,to us :-)
