Banska Bystrica Castle
The castle was originally situated outside this important medieval mining city, but now lies in the centre and is one of the dominant on the city skyline. Its oldest building is the original Late- Romanesque church from the 13th century. The church is richly decorated and the oltar of St. Barbara was propably made by Master Pavol from Levoča. Its present appearance is the result of additions made in the 14th and 15th century as well as of the baroque modernization after the fire in 1761. The stone fortofication was built after 1479 and it includes a gate with a barbican and round bastions.
The castle area consists of several buildings, such as the so-called Mathew's House and the town hall built around 1500 and rebuilt in 1546. Cultural facilities are placed in the castle and the State Gallery in the townhall.
