On the locality of today's castle was built a bulwark in the times of Great Moravia, serving as a community center. Contemporary castle arose in the 11th century as a borderland stronghold watching important Vah River and Carpathian passes, through which there led mercantile routes, merging the territory of Northern Hungary and Middle-Slovak mining towns with Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and Poland. In next centuries the castle became a domicile of borderland commitat, royal and later aristocratic county.
