Welcome to the most infamous and notorious prison in Slovakia. This is Leopoldov. Traveling by car it is about one hour from Bratislava. The town in which it is situated bears the same name. They are both named after the Emperor Leopold from back in the 1600's. At that time the Ottoman Turks were laying siege to this area. By order of the Emperor a military fortress was built in 1665, this very building. Years after those dynasty's the fortress became the prison which housed the most dangerous criminals in Czechoslovakia.
