MY SOUVENIR POSTCARD HOME ...FROM MY VISIT TO THIS BEAUTIFUL CASTLE.

THE BEAUTIFUL COURTYARD IN THE CASTLE.

BEAUTY EVERYWHERE

MOST BEAUTIFUL FURNITRE

BRATISLAVA.:
Today see us on a short drive out of Bratislava to visit the castle of "Cerveny Kamen". This was surprise for me that lovely Sura had previously organised with an English speaking tour of the castle..I was immediately taken by the size and beauty of This wonderful castle that is now a Museum and National heritage to the Slovakian people. We no sooner arrived than our tour began which took us through the huge many rooms and into the Cellar/ dungeon part of the castle.. I was especially taken by the beautiful furniture that was in all the rooms and the hugeness of the main hall and the cellar also I was astounded at the wonderful condition of the Castle considering the many wars and conflicts that this part of the world had seen .This truly was a wonderful place to visit and so appreciative of my dear friend Sura for making it possible.. for this little guy from Australia.. to see such a magnificent castle.

CERVENY KAMEN CASTLE : is a 13th century castle located in the south western part of Slovakia in the area of The little Carpathians  near the village of Casta.Constructed in the 13th Century as part of the chain as the Kingdom of Hungary's Frontier defence Castles ranging from Pressburg to Zilina.This castle was completely rebuilt as a fortress in the first half of the 16th century. When the Pallfy family aquired the Castle in 1588 the fortress was completed and it became a representative noble castle.The Pallfy family were the owners of the Castle until the second World War.. .and today the castle  is a museum.
