From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Červený Kameň Castle (Slovak: Hrad Červený Kameň) is a castle in southwestern Slovakia, in the Little Carpathians, near the village of Častá.
[edit] History
In the place of today's castle was a stone castle in the 13th century and it was part of the chain of frontier castles from Bratislava to Žilina. This castle ceased to exist in the first half of the 16th century, when it was rebuilt to a fortress. When the Pálffys acquired the castle in 1588, the fortress was completed and it also became a representative noble castle.
Although the castle was several times damaged by fire, it was always reconstructed by Pálffys, who were owners of the castle until the Second World War. Today, the castle serves as a furniture museum.
