New castle, Renaissance castle in District of Banská Štiavnica, Slovakia
The castle stands on a hill at 630 meters above sea level, featuring six floors and four bastions constructed with stone foundations.
The town council of Banská Štiavnica built this defensive structure between 1564 and 1571 during the period of Ottoman conflicts in the region.
The castle maintains an exhibition dedicated to Anti-Turkish Wars in Slovakia, displaying artifacts and information across four separate floors.
The castle opens its doors for visitors to explore the exhibition spaces and access the top floor for views of Banská Štiavnica.
The structure functioned as both a watch tower and timekeeping device, with trumpets announcing each quarter hour to the town below.
