Tilia of King Matthias Corvinus in Bojnice, Protected lime tree at Bojnice Castle, Slovakia.

The large-leaved lime tree stands 9 meters tall with an 11-meter trunk circumference and spreads its branches across a 5-meter crown diameter.

The tree was planted in 1301 by Matúš Čák Trenčiansky following the passing of Ondrej III, marking the end of the Árpád dynasty.

King Matthias Corvinus conducted royal meetings beneath this lime tree during his stays at Bojnice Castle between 1458 and 1490.

The tree remains accessible to visitors throughout the year in the castle grounds, with multiple accommodations and restaurants located within walking distance.

Royal decrees from Bojnice mention this specific tree with the Latin phrase 'Sub nostris dilectis tillis bojniciensibus', confirming its royal connections.
