One gets a little bit stranded as you move on from Borinka ascending a steep hill to Pajštún. This is definitely one of the top castles to explore near Bratislava.

Eventually, in the middle of the deep Carpathian forests you will find a mysterious place with a peculiar gloomy atmosphere, guarded by silence and stillness – it still manages to intimidate every “intruder”. In the summer and autumn, this castle is one of the most beautiful places for an evening barbeque in a natural setting, or even as a sleeping spot on a flat meadow. It is also a popular and sought-after place for rock climbers and photographers as well as ordinary tourists. On a good clear day you can just about see the Alps from Pajštún.

BRATISLAVA

Doliny a údolia v minulosti Slovensko nespájali, ale skôr rozdeľovali. Jeden región hovoril iným dialektom, používal iné stavebné prvky a oslavoval iným spôsobom ako druhý región. Tieto odlišnosti sú patrné dodnes. Výsledkom však je aj v európskom meradle unikátne množstvo folklórnych tradícíí, odevov a architektonických prvkov, ktoré zosobňujú a predstavujú ten-ktorý región Slovenska.

The exact origins of the Pajštún castle are unclear with some historians considering it to be the same castle as the Stupava castle.

The castle is standing above Stupava but is not included in the administrative territory of this town. Other historians situate the origins of the castle in the last third 13th century with Rugerius of Tallesbrunn giving the order to build it.^[1]

Pajštún was part of a regional castle system aimed at defending the north-western border of the Kingdom of Hungary.^[4] The original name of the castle was probably the German Peilenstein. The current Slovak name, Pajštún, is corrupted version of this original German one.^[1] One of the first known records mentioning the castle (or the village below) comes from 1314 in connection to its owner, Otto from Telesprun. Many sources often, mistakenly, date the first mention of the castle to 1273.^[5] Certain is that the castle existed before 1390 when it was donated by Sigismund of Luxemburg as a hereditary property to Peter of the noble family of Svätý Jur and Pezinok. After this family died out in 1543 the castle was for a while owned by Gašpar Serédy. … The exact origins of the Pajštún castle are unclear with some historians considering it to be the same castle as the Stupava castle.

Po usadení sa v Bratislave založil tzv. ješivu, vysoké náboženské učilište, kde vychoval stovky rabínov a pôsobil ako významná náboženská autorita pre rabínov z celej Európy. Jeho hrob je umiestnený za električkovým tunelom pod hradom bol počas minulého režimu zanedbaný a odsúdený na zánik. Povráva sa, že komunistická vláda súhlasila s uzavretím jeho mauzólea betónovými blokmi čim sa zabránilo jeho zničeniu za údajne veľmi vysokú finančnú kompenzáciu. Po páde komunistického režimu bolo mauzóleum zrekonštruované a dnes sa radí medzi najvýznamnejšie a najposvätnejšie miesta judaizmu navštevované príslušníkmi židovského národa z celého sveta.

S históriou Bratislavy je neodmysliteľné spätá aj postava rabína, Chatáma Sófera, vlastným menom Moše Schreiber, ktorý patril medzi najvýznamnejších rabínov celej židovskej histórie. Po usadení sa v Bratislave založil tzv. ješivu, vysoké náboženské učilište, kde vychoval stovky rabínov a pôsobil ako významná náboženská autorita pre rabínov z celej Európy. Jeho hrob je umiestnený za električkovým tunelom pod hradom bol počas minulého režimu zanedbaný a odsúdený na zánik. Povráva sa, že komunistická vláda súhlasila s uzavretím jeho mauzólea betónovými blokmi čim sa zabránilo jeho zničeniu za údajne veľmi vysokú finančnú kompenzáciu. Po páde komunistického režimu bolo mauzóleum zrekonštruované a dnes sa radí medzi najvýznamnejšie a najposvätnejšie miesta judaizmu navštevované príslušníkmi židovského národa z celého sveta.
