Hi All.


Bojnice castle is a national cultural monument and museum at the same time. It is one of the most beautiful monuments in Slovakia and is visited by visitors from all over the world.

It is also one of the oldest and most distinguished of Slovak fortresses, standing on a travertine hill above the town. The first written records of its existence come from 1113 in a document from the Zobor abbey. In this Latin written document King Koloman confirmed the property as belonging to the Benedictine monastery of St. Hypolita in the upper Nitra.

Originally the fortress was made from wood and grew out of the older fortress. Gradually over the 13th century it was built up from stone as property of the Poznanovec family. The outer walls of the fortress were shaped according to the uneven rocky terrain, so creating the irregular outline with extended fortification

Hi Stefan
güzel bir bakis açisi olmus tebrikler.

Excellent sharpness and a nice POV, using the near branches to give some interest to your perspective.
An amazing castle, and a great note to accompany your shot! Thanks for sharing it.

Hello Stefan!

Impressive construction Stefan ! Great POV. Wish however the timing would have helped you more here , as the most part of the castle is shaded.
Nevertheless a very cool spring mood with the foreground. Well thought. Happy Easter!

Hi Stefan,

Beautiful look of the top of this castle, for the time of existence of him is still beautiful his architecture.
Excellent sharpness and a nice POV.
Congratulations for the beautiful look!

Wonderful! The idea to present it by the tree is an excellent idea. Perhaps it hide a certain modern detail in the same way. But for the wire (It's often happen) don't worry... I did some makeup.
I did a jump by the way, to realize you present your photos in 600 dpi! It's rare we see that here! Cause in 300 dpi it's easy to use it for printout without your permission...
Good scene to imagine romantic scenario!
