Time to the most beautiful holidays of the year gets shorter every day. The north of Spiš historical region also prepares for this period. Christmas has really a extraordinary touch in this part of Slovakia. If you come to see for yourself to Stará Ľubovňa Castle as well as the open-air museum, its Christmastime expositions will easily prove it to you.

From December 2nd to 9th, the castle will welcome you dressed in Christmas decorations of the 20th century. Explore the aristocratic Christmas menu and taste what for delicacies noblemen had at their Chrismas-Eve table. In the open-air museum underneath the castle, you can get familiar with particular customs, watch how waffles are prepared with waffle-iron and know festal cuisine of liege people, thus you can experience Christmas as it used to in the countryside.

As usual in the recesses of the castle and the museum beneath, visitors have the opportunity to have fun and learn a lot about the castle and its surroundings. Demonstrations of folk habits and traditions related to Christmas, but also to birth, wedding or Easter can be found in particular houses of the open-air museum under the majestic castle overlooking the region.

Come to feel and savour Christmas traditions and celebrations of nobility and lieges of northern Spiš under and at one of the most favourite castles in Slovakia, impressive Stará Ľubovňa Castle.
