 A brief account of Bojnice Castle (Spectacular Slovakia travel guide)
That Bojnice zamok is the cream of the country's castle crop is no accident, says castle festival organiser Jozef Mikulas Palffy: although the communists neglected many monuments and historical sites as a matter of doctrine, Bojnice was actually used by top leaders as a weekend getaway and private conference centre.
At the beginning of the 16th century, the castle became the renaissance seat of the local nobility and was soon expanded through the construction of two additional wings, built to offer more lodgings for guests.
In 1644, Bojnice was given a baroque make-over by the Palffy's, a Hungarian noble family which from the 17th to 19th centuries was one of the richest and most influential in the Hungarian Kingdom.
