The most castles and chateaux per capita in the world

Slovakia is rich in cultural and historical buildings, as well as fortified and majestic structures. There are over 100 castles and at least double that number of manor homes from various historical eras. They were the protagonists of history in the past, and their owners controlled the life of the country and its people. Every manor home has its own garden or park. Curious, which were originally owned by small gentry, may be found in practically every hamlet in Slovakia.

Slovakia boasts 180 castles and 425 chateaux, which is a lot for such a tiny nation! So, no matter where you travel, you will see at least one castle or chateau. The most famous is Spi Castle, which is also one of the biggest in Central Europe (it is on the UNESCO List of World Cultural and Natural Heritage). Maybe this is the best interesting thing you should know to have some beautiful photos. That is a good sound, here is one of the things you should know about Slovakia when you travel to this country.
