Kláštor Pod Znievom: Hotel, Zniev Castle and Marked Trails

The educational trail “The Story of Zniev Castle” leads from the cemetery past a pond and through the forest below Zniev Castle. In this way, the castle appears not only as an individual destination, but also in connection with the trails leading from Kláštor pod Znievom through the surrounding landscape.

The educational trail “Just a Sunday Walk” provides information about the local tradition of oil production and saffron trading. The trail of the same name follows a developed cycle path through forests and meadows.

The educational trail “The Story of the Town Below Zniev” also remains closely connected with the locality. It leads through Kláštor pod Znievom and presents the history of the town as well as information about associated personalities at significant buildings. The various educational trails therefore each have their own name and focus on different subjects, while their routes lead through the town, forest, or meadows.

Zniev Castle consists of an upper and a lower castle complex and is located in the northern part of the Žiar Mountains. The Calvary complex contains a Baroque chapel dating from 1728, with paintings by J. B. Klemens.

The monastery and church in Kláštor pod Znievom date from the mid-13th century. The monastery initially belonged to the Premonstratensians and later to the Jesuits. Thus, different historical connections stand side by side in Kláštor pod Znievom: the castle complex in the northern part of the Žiar Mountains, the Baroque chapel in the Calvary complex, and the monastery and church with their changing religious affiliations.

The Pamätná izba is located in the second building of the Zniev Gymnasium, which was built in 1874.
