A village with three important monuments
Just a few kilometers south of the regional town of Bánská Bystrica is the small village of Hronsek. It is almost unbelievable that there are three important historical monuments here. The most famous of them is the wooden articular church. Then you will also find the Hronské castle and finally the water castle. All almost next to each other.
Soósovsko-Géczyovský castle
The first of the three important monuments in Hronsek is the local castle. It is built in the Baroque style. It is a pity that it is currently in a relatively impoverished state.
Several hundred years old linden tree in Hronsek
In the castle garden, you will find not only a children's playground, but also a linden tree that is several hundred years old. The circumference of the trunk is over five meters.
Wooden articular church in Hronsek
The main monument of Hronsek is a unique wooden articular church built without the use of iron. It is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The church was built in the 18th century and its interiors are decorated with impressive paintings and frescoes.

The interior of the church is really interesting and worth a visit. Admission is voluntary.
Wooden bell tower in Hronsek
A wooden bell tower built in the same style adjoins the church.
Water castle in Hronsek
The third and last significant historical monument in Hronsek is the Water Castle. It's a pity that the moat is not flooded, it would have more charm.
