History
It was originally a water castle. It was mentioned for the first time in 1397, when it was already a stone castle. It was owned mostly by the lords of Likava Castle. It was reconstructed in 1577 by Krusith János and his wife, Pálffy Kata. In 1586 a second gate was built for the castle by Illésházy István. Prince Sophie of Mazovia, the widow of Báthory István, the Palatine of Hungary, and later the wife of Perky Lajos, ispán of Liptó, turned it into a comfortable aristocratic residence. In 1622 the crown guard Révai Péter took a rest here on his way to Trencsén with the Holy Crown of Hungary. Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania returned the crown to Ferdinand ll of Hungary according to the peace treaty. In the 1850's it served as a salt storage, later it became partly a barracks partly a judicial building.
