\nToday we visited the most famous and most beautiful castle of Central-Europe in Bajm\u00f3c. In the past it belonged to noble families, it\u2019s last owner was the P\u00e1lffy family. The amazing appearing fascinated us. Earl J\u00e1nos P\u00e1lffy rearranged the whole building in the XIX century. Unfortunately the earl couldn\u2019t see the results of the repairement, because he died before the end of the complete renovation.\u00a0 Currently the collection of the Art History Museum is can be found here. The romantic castle\u2019s style is similar to the castles built on the riverbank of the french river, Loire. We climbed 620 stairs and walk 1500 meters in the castle. from the tower until the cave we discovered everything. The fabled castle, where several films were set, amazed us. In the garden we sew a 700 years old limetree, where Mathias King also sat under.

In the capital city the Slovak National Revolt Bridge and the Saint M\u00e1rton Dome are also at the same height. We were given detailed information of the history of the castle by our tour guide, and she also told us the legend of the dragon. Between 1552 and 1784 the Holycrown was kept on the oldest tower, the Crowntower. J\u00e1nos P\u00e1lffy made the other towers built, then Ter\u00e9zia M\u00e1ria completed the whole renovation.
