Lednice Castle

In the northwestern part of Slovakia in the White Carpathians lies the village Lednice with the castle ruins Lednice. It is perhaps one of the most inaccessible castles in Slovakia, which looks like an Eagle’s Nest.

The castle was built at the end of the 13th century and was the seat of the Lednice estate. It was destroyed by the imperial troops at the beginning of the 18th century.

Legend has it that the ghost of the beautiful castle lady of Catherine walks on top during the night. The lord of the castle kidnapped her on her wedding day, but Katarina jumped in a white dress from the walls.

Slovakia, thanks to its geographical location, is considered the heart of Europe. However, many natives carry it in their hearts, thanks to the stunning Slovak nature, traditions, and history, which breathe through the castles and châteaux scattered across the country, the unique atmosphere of typical Slovak villages, as well as larger towns, where original Slovak gastronomy, friendly inhabitants, entertainment, and culture blend together.

Although Slovakia has a smaller area compared to surrounding countries, it offers a vast array of experiences. From natural treasures and breathtaking scenery to historical monuments and castles, all the way to worldwide unique attractions.
