Devin castle is situated 5 miles West of Bratislava on the Danube,
and just a stone throw away from Austria.
The castle was destroyed in 1809 by Napolean's army, and
today lies in ruins.
Near the castle is a memorial to Ludovit Stur, who fought
for Slovakian independence from Hungary, and made Devin Castle
a symbol of Slovakia's glorious past.
