Nový zámok

Nový zámok (literally "New Castle") is a castle in Banská Štiavnica, Slovakia. New Castle - a national cultural monument - is a six-floor Renaissance building with four bastions. It was constructed in 1564-1571 as a watch tower during the Ottoman wars. Because of its dominant position, it was also used as the town's live clock (exact time was announced every quarter of an hour on a trumpet). A permanent exhibition called Anti-Turkish Wars in Slovakia is installed on four floors of the castle. The highest floor offers a panoramic view of Banská Štiavnica and its environs. http://www.muzeum.sk/default.php?obj=hrad&ix=sbm_nz
