Bytča Castle, Renaissance manor house in Bytča, Slovakia

The square-shaped manor house features circular corner bastions, a central courtyard with arcades, and a six-story tower in the northern wing.

Ferenc Thurzó rebuilt the structure between 1571 and 1574 on Gothic foundations, transforming the original water castle into a Renaissance residence.

The walls of the arcaded courtyard display a collection of paintings and portraits depicting dukes from different historical periods.

The State Regional Archives maintains the manor house, and visitors need to arrange tours through advance telephone reservations.

The Wedding Palace, constructed in 1601, stands as the sole building of its type in Slovakia, originally hosting celebration feasts for Paladin Thurzo's daughters.
