Castles
Slovakia is one  of the countries with the greatest
number of castles, château and mansion houses in all whole Europe. In Fact there are 425 mansion houses, 180 castles and château that include also some ruins.
The castles in Slovakia testify the colonizations that happened in the country during the centuries.
It is difficult find differences between castle and chateaux in Slovakia. We can say that castles were
built in strategic and generally little accessible places with
defensive functions against the attacks of the enemies. The château
instead were constructions that lost their defensive functions and
during ceturies were modify becoming refined and rappresentative
residences. Mansion houses finally are noble constructions, generally built
in flat zones and surrounded by large parks or large gardens.
