Advent at Trenčín Castle

Immerse yourself in the magic of pre-Christmas tranquillity in the historic halls of Ľudovít Palace.

Trenčín Castle will be filled with the festive spirit, complete with the scent of gingerbread and unique Christmas decorations right outside Matúš Tower.

Learn about the magical traditions of ‘Stridžie Days’, the customs associated with St Andrew’s Day and the ceremonial sweeping of corners on St Lucy’s Day.

You will also learn how Christmas wafers were once prepared and the games that accompanied the wait for carol singers. The atmosphere will be brought to life with the sounds of secular and religious carols, and a small, fragrant gingerbread surprise awaits you at the end.

Come and experience Advent just as our ancestors did!
