In the 11th and 12th century, a medieval stone palace was built, which was rebuilt and expanded over the years by the respective rulers of their time. In the fifteenth century, the present layout of the castle finally developed. The reconstruction was also necessary because of the attacks of the Hussites, and accordingly, also the defence system was improved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/burg-von-bratislava.jpg\" alt=\"Wo liegt Bratislava\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1780, the governor left the castle and it lost its importance to the government. For some years the castle was owned by the church before it became a quarter for soldiers in 1802. In 1811, the castle burned down due to the carelessness of the troops. For 150 years it stood over the city as a ruin. Reconstruction and renovation of the old structures began after WWII. After Slovakia declared independence in 1992, the Slovakian President resided in the castle until 1996. Today Bratislava Castle is a museum and a representative building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/eingang.jpg\" alt=\"Bratislava castle\" data-id=\"5733\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/eingang.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/slovakia\/bratislava\/bratislava-castle\/attachment\/if-274\/\" class=\"wp-image-5733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/eingang.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/eingang-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/eingang-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/eingang-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/vorplatz.jpg\" alt=\"Bratislava castle\" data-id=\"5735\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/vorplatz.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/slovakia\/bratislava\/bratislava-castle\/attachment\/if-276\/\" class=\"wp-image-5735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/vorplatz.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/vorplatz-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/vorplatz-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/vorplatz-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to visit the castle, you have to climb the hill.

From here you can visit the courtyard and go to the museum. If you walk around the castle you come to a small park, from where you have an excellent view over the city. For the way down, we went through a side gate, which opens to a staircase down the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/tor-in-den-abgrund.jpg\" alt=\"Burg Bratislava\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a bit torn what to think of Bratislava Castle. Architecturally, it is an unspectacular building. Builders worked on an extension of the building at the time of our visit. The fa\u00e7ade is plain and without embellishments. But the castle was originally built for defence, and it fully fulfilled its purpose in that regard. Nevertheless, the building has fascinated me with its simplicity. The view of the city is really great. Also, the good strategic choice of the location is interesting to see. If you are not a museum visitor, there is little to discover on the castle grounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Address:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> Miejsc\u00f3wka J\u00f3zefi\u0144ska 4 <br>30-529 Krakau <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/treppe-zur-burg.jpg\" alt=\"Bratislava castle\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bratislava Castle is situated 85 meters above the river Danube in the western part of Bratislava.
