The remains of this 14th century castle, nestled on a rocky peak and overlooking the Váh, are really worth a visit. It was burned down in 1698 on the orders of Emperor Leopold I. On August 30, 1944, escaped French soldiers helped the Slovak national uprising by trying, from this castle, to block the advance of the Wehrmacht. Today, a famous war memorial honouring fallen French partisans has been built in front of the castle.

Une belle visite
Le château de Strecno est un des rares châteaux qui n'est pas complètement en ruine aujourd'hui et que l'on peut visiter. L'intérieur est bien conservé, l'exposition est intéressante et la vue est superbe depuis son point le plus haut. La visite dure à peu près 45 minutes et l'entrée ne coute pas cher. Le mieux est de prolongé l'expérience en se baladant sur les collines aux alentours, s'arrêter devant le Monument dédié aux soldats français de la seconde guerre mondiale et déguster un bon halusky au Koliba Panorama sur la colline en face du chateau. Une belle journée au coeur de la Slovaquie.
