Čachtice Castle was founded in the first half of the 13th century. It was one of the first castles to secure the western border of Hungary, especially in the 13th century, when it was administered by the royal castellan. The castle is known mainly for the legend of the bloody lady - Elizabeth Báthory.

The ruins of the Čachtice Castle are still well-identifiable buildings, gradually rising on the upper, middle and lower castle. The fortifications have preserved remnants of scutelliform Renaissance attics, fragments of original plaster with paintings are in the upper castle. In older photographs, you can see the castle with a tower, unfortunately, only one of its walls is still standing at present. From the castle, there is a beautiful view of the surrounding slopes of the Little Carpathians, the hills of Myjava Upland and Považský Inovec.
