風景美麗如畫、歷史引人入勝、城堡矗立兩條河流交匯的懸崖上,構成斯洛伐克最震撼的國家名勝。
接近 1000 年來,德文城堡 (Devín Castle) 一直坐落摩拉瓦河 (Morava) 和多瑙河 (Danube) 匯合點高處,俯瞰布拉提斯拉瓦 (Bratislava) 和附近一帶。城堡位處海拔約 700 英呎 (213 米) 的巖石之上。遺跡維護得當,河水在一邊,山林在另一邊,非常適合散步。
城堡歷史最早可追溯至 9 世紀後期,直至拿破崙軍隊在 19 世紀將之摧毀。城堡遺址包括不同年代建築物的遺跡,如羅馬塔、文藝復興時期的防禦工事和前 5 世紀的聚落痕跡。
走進摩拉維亞門,穿過兩座半圓形的棱堡,漫步庭園四周,細看不同年代留下的遺跡。庭園中心一口深水井旁有個平台,遊客可以在此一窺圓形劇場等行人止步 的部分。這裡也是拍攝多瑙河的絕佳地點。
現址有一座瞭望塔,稱為少女塔,在城堡主建築外。當地很多傳說與被囚禁塔內的女子跳樓而死有關。您可看到 9 世紀的摩拉維亞大教堂地基。城堡地下室有季節性展覽,詳細記錄著城堡的歷史。
遺跡觀光團完結後,您可走出去探索當地景致。附近有數條行山徑和單車徑。還可租用獨木舟,划著船探索摩拉瓦河。
德文城堡距離布拉提斯拉瓦約 6 英哩 (9.6 公里)。您可從市中心乘坐巴士到城堡,每小時兩班。此外,您也可驅車前往。城堡下設有收費停車場。開放時段視乎季節而定,到訪前請務必查看德文城堡網站確認。博物館收取入場費;小童、學生、退休人士和家庭可享票價減免。




![It was built in 1693/94 by Johann Bernhard Fischer of Erlach for Ernst Rüdiger of Starhemberg under the name Jagdschloss Engelhartstetten. In 1725 the castle was purchased by Prince Eugene of Savoy . It received its present appearance under Maria Theresia around 1765 by the court architect Nikolaus Pacassi . The paintings of the Festaal are by Jean-Baptiste Pillement . From 1945 onwards there was an increasing decline of the castle. Since 1980, it has been restored and now serves as an exhibition and venue. In 2016 Schloss Niederweiden, for example, will be one of four locations of the exhibition on the centenary of the death of Emperor Franz Joseph . In the former Lustschlösschen of the Habsburgs exhibition shows on hunting and leisure are shown in the special show. [1] Schloss Niederweiden has been used as a venue for the past years: 15 stately rooms - including a baroque Wilhelminian kitchen - can be rented for private parties and celebrations](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6353175/c3465d0b-0885-4545-9cf2-d8909a5ca802.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh)
