New Castle, Banská Štiavnica, Slovensko
O tomto kameni
The New Castle (Nový zámok) in Banská Štiavnica, Slovakia is a Renaissance fortress built in the 1570s on a hill above the town as a watchtower against Ottoman attacks. It's a compact, square four-story building with a tall tower, and it sits within the UNESCO-listed historic town.
Today it's a branch of the Slovak Mining Museum, with exhibits on the Turkish wars and the town's history. The main draw is the tower, which gives panoramic views over the old town and surrounding hills.
It's an easy walk up from the center, and it pairs well with the Old Castle (Starý zámok) nearby.
