New additions
The castle has prepared several novelties for visitors, in order to make the tour more attractive.
The museum will provide new descriptions of the exhibited items in English, to attract more English-speaking tourists or tourists who do not speak Slovak. There will be new photo panels and wooden games that will attract both kids and the adults.
The middle castle courtyard will allow access to one of three casemates, which has undergone construction. In the past, cannons were placed on the casemates. Changes and improvements were made to the hilly terrain that surrounds this part of the castle as well, Muzeum.sk reported.
What else to see?
The gallery at the Museum of Local History is preparing an exhibition of WWII technology, which will be presented as mock-ups made by Tibor Pétera.

The exhibition will open on May 18, 2021 and on display until August 6.
