The castle is known as the Oravsky. As with most castles in SK, the history of this place is long and complicated. Records indicate that people were inhabiting this space as early as the year 1000. After the building of the main castle and many of the walls in 1267 it changed hands by one means or another a dozen times until a great fire in the 1800’s destroyed significant areas. It was immediately rebuilt according to the historical architectural records and restored to what you see here.
