Old Castle, Medieval castle in District of Žilina, Slovakia.
The castle occupies a strategic position at the meeting point of the Kysuca and Váh rivers, featuring defensive walls and a cylindrical tower.
Built during the second half of the 13th century as a guarding fortress, the structure underwent Renaissance modifications under Gašpar Suňog's ownership from 1487.
The castle contains multiple exhibition spaces managed by the Považie Museum, presenting regional artifacts and historical collections to visitors.
The castle structure remains inaccessible for wheelchair users, and visitors should arrange transportation due to its elevated location.
The castle's position at the confluence of two rivers made it an essential control point for medieval trade routes through northern Slovakia.
