The history of the Château in Plaveč reaches as long as the 13th century
The history of the Château in Plaveč reaches as long as the 13th century. In that time there was a Gothic fortress which was re-built into a Renaissance castle at the end of the 16th century by the family of Hodicky. Then in the mid-18th century a scion of this family, from the line of de Souches family, re-built the Renaissance castle into a Baroque palace. The present classicistic form was impressed to it by the baron Albert Widmann in 1825, whose ancestors acquired the château in 1743. There is a splendid park stretching around in the surroundings of the château.
The most valued well-preserved monument in the precinct is a Romanesque rotunda from the mid-13th century.
