Hotels in Sillein: Discover Wire Craftsmanship and Žilina
Sillein is associated with a cultural heritage that combines craftsmanship and art: wire craftsmanship was added to UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2019.
Culture
The Drotársky Pavilion presents a permanent exhibition on the history and material culture of Slovak wire craftsmanship. It focuses on both the development of the craft and its material forms of expression. Budatín Castle offers a different cultural focus: it is used as a museum and houses castle exhibitions. In addition, the Bábkové divadlo v Žiline, Slovakia’s oldest professional puppet theatre, is available.
Cityscape and History
Mariánské náměstie was declared an urban heritage reserve in 1987 and is regarded as the historic heart of Žilina. Its arcaded galleries continue along Hodžova and Radničná Streets. Various cultural events take place regularly in the square, bringing together the historic cityscape and public cultural life. In the cityscape described here, the square, its arcaded galleries and the two aforementioned streets therefore form a single ensemble.
Rosenfeldov palác was built in the Art Nouveau style in 1907 and declared a national cultural monument in 2009. The year of construction and the heritage protection status mark two different points in its history. The exterior of Rosenfeldov palác can be viewed as part of a guided tour organised by TIK Žilina.
Nature and Activities
Budatínsky Park is a historic, freely accessible English landscape park. It offers opportunities for walking, summer picnics and selected sports games. Alongside the historic sites, there are therefore also open spaces for quiet and active hours.
Vodné dielo Žilina was built on the Váh River near Žilina. At Vodné dielo Žilina, visitors can use a paved path for walking, cycling and inline skating. The Vodné dielo skate park is open to every visitor, provided that the rules and operating regulations are observed.
The walking routes around Žilina are also short and not very demanding, although they overcome differences in elevation between the squares; neither hiking boots nor special preparation are required.
