Budatín Castle, Medieval castle at river confluence in Žilina, Slovakia.
The four-story cylindrical tower of Budatín Castle stands at the meeting point of the Váh and Kysuca rivers, marking the entrance to Žilina.
Built in the 13th century as a defensive structure, the castle changed ownership from royal property to Matthew III Csák, who enhanced its fortifications.
The Museum of Považie within the castle presents exhibitions about regional history, tinker trade, and natural sciences of the Žilina area.
Located at Zámocká street in Žilina, the castle welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM throughout the year.
The castle grounds include an English-style park containing exotic trees, extending to the point where the two rivers meet.
