Title

Name in English

An interesting castle complex that connects the ruins of a Gothic castle with a reconstructed Renaissance mansion.The original construction of the castle fortifications includes an arched passage into the courtyard of the mansion. In front of the gate was once a moat, today it is built by buildings. The gradual growth of the ground plan is optically unified by Baroque Prussian vaults. In the interior of the castle there is a cartwheel and slotted loopholes. The interior of the mansion serves as a hotel and restaurant.The wholly preserved core of the castle occupied a narrow rocky outcrop, on which they built a two-storey palace. The survey shows that round-faced towers have divided slotted ventilation and lighting openings and, together with the palace, have been completed with a gallery and crenellation. Buildings outside the core were preserved from the period of rebuilding in the 15th century, when from the north attached to the core a small bailey. Its western part was filled with a two-tract passage palace and the neighboring small courtyard with a well was bounded by a wall with a corner horseshoe tower. Several remnants of the original painted window mount were identified in the palace.

The foundations of the castle were discovered archaeologically and, unlike other castles, it only existed for more than two hundred years. Proper and systematic archaeological research of the castle took place in the years 1976-1983 under the leadership of Václav Hanuliak. According to the results of this research, the castle was divided into three parts - the upper castle, the lower castle and the fort. The upper and lower parts of the castle were discovered, but the fortification with its economic background could not be archaeologically documented. Apart from the blacksmith's workshop, no farm building was found on the castle. The upper castle stood on a triangular floor plan and represents the oldest building part. It also included the castle gate and was enclosed by massive walls. The walls were protected from the west by a residential part, from the south by a tower and from the east by a moat around the entire perimeter. In the upper castle there was a tower and a cistern. South of the tower was the entrance to the castle, which was bricked up during the reconstruction in the 14th century, as in this period a second tower was built and a second gate with a falling grid. A residential palace was also built, which was cut into the rock.Walls were added to the eastern part of the older core of the castle, which replaced the original palisade, thus creating the lower castle, the only building of which was a blacksmith's workshop. At present, the foundations of the buildings have been preserved and the findings discovered during archaeological research are stored in the Liptov Museum in Ružomberok.

The building was originally a late Renaissance two-tower block type of fortified manor house. The one-storey two-aisled building was built on the floor plan of a rectangle. The manor house was remodeled in the Baroque style in 1750. The last significant alteration took place in 1880, when the building was expanded and supplemented by two corner towers. The original two southern towers have firing holes. The building has a high mansard roof. The facade is divided by double lysines, the windows have shambles.Renaissance and Baroque vaults have been preserved in the rooms. The manor house has been renovated and serves as a private residence.

At the highest point of the castle hill there is a Renaissance Gothic upper castle. Between the ruins of the palaces has a small courtyard. From the archaeological point of view, the most important are the preserved Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements, window frames, portals, consoles, gunshots, Renaissance attic and pitch noses to defend the castle access road. Massive fortifications with entrance and bastions boasts the lower castle. The castle has recently been reconstructed and refurbished, so at present there are traces of several interventions.The castle was statically secured. It was mainly reinforced upper castle, where the floors are concreted and connected by perimeter walls. A part of the castle above the entrance gate is reconstructed. The lower castle was also reconstructed, resulting in aerated concrete blocks and ceramics. However, in addition to these disproportionate interventions, the ruin still impresses.
