Holiday apartment in Altlublau – Ľubovňa Castle and cultural sites

Altlublau presents history in several forms and through different approaches. It can be explored through buildings, exhibitions and places of remembrance.

Culture

Ľubovňa Castle was built at the beginning of the 14th century. A visit is estimated to take 80 minutes. The castle can be visited with a guided tour or independently using an accompanying text.

The Ľubovniansky skanzen is located below the castle. The open-air museum of folk architecture comprises 25 buildings. A visit to the skanzen is estimated to take 45 minutes.

Behind the skanzen area below Ľubovňa Castle, the Michal Strenk military exhibition is located on Zámocká Street in Stará Ľubovňa. On display are realistically designed trenches and bunkers, as well as artillery batteries and military equipment. The exhibition commemorates those who fell in the Second World War, as well as the involvement of local people in the anti-fascist resistance in the region and around the world.

The Dom ľubovnianskeho mešťana is located in a historic burgher house from the 17th century. Architectural details include Renaissance elements, original barrel vaults, stucco decoration and medieval cellars from the 15th century.

The exhibition in the Dom ľubovnianskeho mešťana includes an original black kitchen. A visit to the Dom ľubovnianskeho mešťana also includes a visit to St. Nicholas Church.

A holiday apartment in Altlublau can provide a personal setting for a stay with varying daily routines. The planned length of stay, the size of the travel group and the desired degree of independence, for example, are relevant to the individual choice. This decision remains part of personal travel planning and is not tied to a particular location or set of amenities. The question of how much time during the day is to be spent outside the accommodation is also part of personal planning. This keeps the choice open and allows it to follow your own travel plan.

History

The periods of construction of the religious buildings and the cemetery also span several centuries. The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Nicholas is a Gothic church from the late 13th century. Visits to its interior are organized by the tourist information centre.

The wooden Church of the Archangel Michael dates from 1833. The cemetery contains a neo-Gothic chapel from the early 20th century.

The cemetery is accessed through a small building called Ciduk hadin. The cemetery was reconstructed in 2001 and is enclosed along its entire perimeter. The figurative ornaments located there include lions and eagles.

Routes

Ľubovňa Castle can be reached by car up to the castle. From the centre of Stará Ľubovňa, a red-marked hiking trail leads there on foot in approximately 30 minutes. The approximate time estimate remains tied to the described hiking trail from the town centre to the castle. The trail therefore provides an independent option for reaching the castle from the town.
