A little dilapidated and unrepaired, but beautiful and it is appropriate to stop and pay respect.

I haven't been there, so I can't recommend it or not.

It is more appropriate to use the lava bank of the canal - a better way.

A beautiful complex, only if I understood one note correctly, only employees of that institution are asked to enter.

Bytča is a small town located on the banks of Váh about 20 kilometers from Žilina. ŽNO was recorded in Bytča in the second half of the 18th century, the oldest cemetery, as well as the documented presence of Jewish residents, is from before 1720. A certain curiosity of the Jewish Bytča and its adjacent communities is the origin of the local population, which derives from the Sephardic Jews, expelled in 1492 from Spain. The first synagogue in Bytč was already in service in 1801, the newer and still existing building replaced it in 1886. After the Budapest Congress (1868), when the Jewish communities of Hungary were divided into Orthodox and Neo-Orthodox, the ŽNO in Bytč refused to declare itself in accordance with the congress and later received the official designation "status quo ante" (status as before). After 1926, the "status quo ante" and neological villages were united under the name "Ješurun".

The chateau, the Renaissance treasure of the city of Bytč, deserves the attention of visitors to northwestern Slovakia. It is one of the few Renaissance palaces in Slovakia that has retained its original appearance, unchanged by subsequent reconstructions. It was built in the years 1571-1574 on the older gothic foundations of a water castle. A massive building with a square floor plan with a courtyard in the middle, arcades and round towers. The walls of the arcades are decorated with wall paintings - images of voivodes. In the middle of the north wing rises a six-story tower with Renaissance ornaments made of graphite. The next building in the palace complex is the so-called The wedding palace, one of a kind in Slovakia, built in 1601 by its owner, the Hungarian palotine Juraj Thurzo. The wedding feasts of his seven daughters took place in the palace. Currently, there are exhibition rooms here, and the palace is the seat of the State Regional Archives. At the beginning of the 18th century, Juraj Janosik, a Slovak folk hero, served as a soldier in the palace in Bytčy. https://slovakia.travel/pl/palac-bytca https://www.srdcomposlovensku.sk/povazie/zamok-bytca?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0ZfMvO-C-QIVQwWiAx0mOgSjEAAYASAAEgKMX_D_BwE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZvOfOtv8TA
