Slavic people arrived in the 5th and 6th centuries. In the 7th century, the first political formation of Slavs was created – the Samo’s empire. The first real Slavic political entity here was the Great Moravian Empire, which also included parts of today’s Czech Republic.
In the 9th century the Great Moravian Empire spread on the territory of the present-day Slovakia. Central Slovakia was very advanced, what is proved by gothic cathedrals and fortifications of rich towns, as well as by gold, silver and copper mining in Kremnica and other towns. Great Moravia flourished briefly in the 9th century.
The gem of Bojnice is the ”fairy-tale” Bojnický zámok Castle, one of the most visited and most beautiful castles not only in Slovakia, but also in central Europe.

The Castle stands on a large travertine monticule on the site of medieval castle from the 11th century. If you like enjoy a banquet with entertainment. International Festival of Ghosts and Spooks in held here regularly by the end of April and beginning of May.
