Crown Tower
The new permanent exhibition of SNM – Museum of History is being prepared.
from 10. 7. 2020
The Crown Tower, built in the 13th century, is the oldest still standing structure of Bratislava Castle. It was incorporated in the castle palace as its south-west corner in the 15th century. The Hungarian crown jewels were stored here in the past – hence its name. A replica of Saint Stephen’s crown is kept here today. The tower is 47 meters tall and offers views of three countries: Slovakia, Austria and Hungary. If we add the height of the castle hill (85 m) to the tower, we will find ourselves at a noteworthy height above the city and river with an excellent view of the strategic space of Bratislava Gate.
