One of many attractions in Banská Štiavnica. Na Castle was built as defensive and observatory tower during the way with Turkish soldiers during medieval time. That's also the topic for expositions inside the Castle. There are many weapons, pictures and maps explaining this difficult time of the history of this region. There are also wonderful vie from the top. I recommend coming after dark in winter time to see Calvary lit with lights. There is steep path leading towards Castle made of uneven stone which is not good for stroller. There are many stairs inside the Castle which makes it complicated for little children and elderly people. Even though there are many things to see and read about, I don't think you need to reserve more than 45 minutes for your visit. There are no guided tours there, you will be able to ask for paper guide in multiple languages, though.

The castle is dedicated to exhibitions of anti-Turkish fights and there are awesome views to Banska Stiavnica city and hills around. It's pity, that it is stopped in 20 years ago (except paying in Eur) - you will obtain guide of 4 papers covered by plastic with text - no speech recorded, no headphones with multiple languages, no card payment. And finally - of course and typically slovak - extra payment for parking under the hill. But the staff was nice and friendly and the exhibition very interesting.

A nice little castle, or dungeon, as inside it is very simple architecture. The price is ok and there's a cool collection of weapons and firearms. Canon, rifles, pistols etc with swords, daggers and armors. Disposition of material is simple but you have small rooms which are well decorated. At the top floor, you will have a perfect view on the town below, the old castle and the red cavalry far away. I recommend the visit!

Castle showing exhibits relating to the military aspects of the local area and the interaction with the Ottoman Turks. Whilst interesting was quite limited and I felt that more could have been done with the top floor showing how the e land and the locals interaction with it had changed

New Castle, fortification to protect Turkish invasions in medieval times in very important mining town of Banska Stiavnica. Small entrance fee worth coming in. Inside exhibition of wars with Turkish. And amazing views over town itself and nearby Calvary.

Paid parking everywhere in town at outrageous prices but the revenue seems to be more embezzled by the corrupted municipality rather than spent to renovate this castle. The roughcast is falling appart, grass not cut.... Nothing worth the climb.
