Who we are
Ľupča Castle
| Cultural monuments reflect society development. Immovable monuments from the past are important component of the environment and positively form the cultural awareness of people. Our company has always shown pride of the heritage left behind by previous generations. The castle was purchased from the state in order to aid in its reconstruction and make it available to the general public. Hungarian King Bela IV founded Ľupča Castle in the 13th century. The castle has been built on a foothill of the Low Tatras. It served as a guard castle and controlled Via Magna, the important medieval trade path leading to the foothills by the castle. |  |

The Castle was known for visits by the monarchs, i.e. Bela IV., a founder, his son Stephen V., Charles Robert of Anjou, as well as legend-emblazoned Matthias Corvinus, whose name bears the linden tree at the entrance to the courtyard.

The Castle often changed owners during the subsequent Renaissance and Baroque period.
