Prepare for a thrilling return to one of the most turbulent periods in our history, when Christian Europe faced the mighty Ottoman Empire. Trenčín Castle comes alive with a spectacular programme transporting you to the 150-year era of anti-Ottoman battles in the Kingdom of Hungary. The main draw is an authentic Hungarian-Turkish mounted knights’ tournament. A story inspired by real events surrounding the establishment of the Peace of Žitva by Palatine Thurzó will pull you straight into the whirl of cavalry duels and stunt performances. Beyond the clash of arms, enjoy the captivating atmosphere of the legendary Orient with period music and dancers who will teach you their art in a brief dance workshop. For the brave, an interactive period torture chamber awaits, where you can try out the instruments of historical justice with a touch of humour. Families with children will discover the charm of old times in a period camp full of European and Oriental tents and in historical games such as catapult shooting and jousting with lances.
