As it stood in 1750
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact hilltop ensemble crowning a wooded crest: a white-plastered cathedral with a tall multi-stage bell tower capped by a green copper spire, grouped against contiguous buildings with red clay tile roofs belonging to the Bishop's Palace. Low masonry curtain walls and terraced stone ramparts surround courtyards and service ranges. The complex sits above the town with winding approach roads and planted terraces; stonework of the fortifications appears pale and weathered against the white church walls.
Its story
The story of Nitra Castle.
Nitra Castle dominates the city from a hilltop in the Old Town of Nitra and has long been an episcopal stronghold — it remains the seat of the Diocese of Nitra. The complex centres on St Emmeram's Cathedral and the Bishop's residence, the cathedral formed of older and later building phases; its oldest surviving part is a Romanesque church.
The surviving fortifications date largely from the 16th and 17th centuries, and the whole complex is protected as a national cultural monument of Slovakia.
