Smolenice Castle, 15th-century castle in Little Carpathians, Slovakia.

The castle comprises two wings and a central tower, built with ferroconcrete materials on the eastern slope of the Little Carpathians mountain range.

The original castle experienced destruction during Rakoczi's War of Independence and underwent reconstruction in the 20th century under Count Jozef Palffy's direction.

The Slovak Academy of Sciences manages this castle as a conference center, hosting researchers, scientific symposiums, and educational gatherings from across the globe.

Visitors can explore the castle during July and August from 10:00 to 18:00, while May, June, and September visits are limited to Sundays from 13:00 to 17:00.

The reconstruction involved craftsmen from five countries: Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia, incorporating their diverse architectural techniques.
