The money will be spent on the renovation of the western palace, which was once the most magnificent part of the castle. After renovations, the first and second floor should be open for visitors.
The project is also focused on cultural, creative, educational and marketing activities and an all-year-round use of the castle, the TASR newswire reported.
The Gothic palace in the west with a hall of knights was built when the Duke of Polish origin, Stibor of Stiboricz, owned the castle at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries.
