Review:
Situated high above the Orava River, Orava Castle is considered to be one of the most beautiful castles in the country. The castle was built in the 13th century, in what was then the Kingdom of Hungary, and has an extensive history of destruction and reconstruction. Now, visitors can explore the castle and its neo-Gothic and Renaissance architecture as well as the beautiful grounds that surround it. The Orava Museum, which was founded in 1868, is now housed at the castle and exhibits various artifacts, paintings, weapons, and archaeological collections. It is one of the oldest museums in Slovakia and visitors can explore rooms such as the Castle Chapel or the Knights’ Room, with all its period-style furnishings.
