Learning Point
- Bojnice Castle looks like it jumped right out of a fairy tale, with its tall towers and colorful walls! It’s in Slovakia and has a long, long history, starting as a wooden fort and turning into a beautiful castle full of art. A rich count named Pálffy loved traveling and collecting amazing things, so he made the castle look like the fancy castles he saw in France. Now, it’s a museum where you can see old furniture, paintings, and even a secret cave, and sometimes it’s used as a movie set!
