Orava Castle

Orava Castle is one of the most well known in Slovakia, with people coming from all parts of the world to admire both its historical and aesthetic values.

Today, the castle houses archaeological, ethnographical and natural history expositions. The original dungeons of the castle are also open to the public and house an exposition about medieval justice.

A guided tour of the castle in English is well worth the admission fee, and includes amongst other things a demonstration of medieval hawkers and a sword fight between knights over their fair lady.

For those of you that venture to the top towers in the castle, the view over Orava is simply stunning. All in all, Orava Castle makes for a great family day out.
