The road to the Ducats

King Sigismund, shortly after ascending the Hungarian throne, must save his wife, Queen Mary, from Croatian captivity. He entrusts the ransom to his faithful Duke Stibor of Stiborice. You help Stibor too. Head to its four castles Uhrovec, Beckov, Čachtice and Plavecký hrad. Engrave Sigismund's ducats and free Queen Mary from captivity.

What will be your role?

It is simple. To help Stibor redeem Queen Mary from captivity, you will have to visit the four castellans of Beckov Castle, Čachtice, Uhrovec and Plavecký Castle. Each of them will give you or allow you to set out Sigismund's ducat. At each castle you get a coin with the same reverse but a different face . After collecting four coins, send us a photo of these coins with the obverse and your contact to the address: mince@hrad-beckov.sk. You can win one of the attractive prizes - e.g. balloon flight for two people from Letybalonom.sk, Soaphoria natural cosmetics or exceptional wines from Ovocinár Hrehor.

How much time will you have?

We will open the story "Journey to the Ducats" and the Journey to the Ducats together at Beckov Castle on April 30, 2022. You will have the whole summer to obtain coins and you will find out whether you managed to correct the wrongdoing committed at Queen Mary on October 2, 2022, when we will close the event. .

This season will be informative, fun and active. You can look forward to a number of attractive events at the four castles of Stibor of Stiborice (published on the castle website).

Travel and learn the history of our ancestors with us with an engaging story. We look forward to seeing you this season at Beckov, Čachtice, Plavecký hrad and Uhrovec castles.
