Originally, the Bojnice Castle was a Gothic castle from the 11th century. Since then, many owners have taken possession of the castle, including the Hungarian magnate Matthew Csák of Trenčín, Matthias Corvinus and Thurzo family.

Since the 17th century, the Pálffy family were the holders of the castle who in 1909 completed the reconstruction of the Gothic-Renaissance castle into a present-day chateau.

As well as other castles and chateaus, even Bojnice, is emblazoned with a number of superstitions. The most famous one is tied to the last owner of Bojnice Castle, Ján Pálffy, and his unfortunate love for the French Countess de Jeanville.

At Bojnice Castle, visitors can take part in day and evening tours with a duration of 90 minutes with an account of the history of the castle.
