Castle of Trenčín

Trenčín castle became the fortress of a great medieval knight. Hungarian Palatine Mattew Csák of Trencsén. Several Hungarian noble families had their seats at the Castle over the centuries, including the House of Zápolya. Palatine Illészházy István I entered the annals of Hungarian medieval history as the Palatine, who managed to conclude peace in a complex political situation between belligerents: Hungarian Protestants and Catholics.

Finally, there's the prominent Slovak noble House of Thurzó, whose most notable member was Palatine Gyorgy Thurzó VII, who wrote letters in Slovak and spent winter months in the manor house in Bytča.
