I'm hoping to visit this village of Bojnice where my grandparents were born.

It is a nice town and the castle is nice.
It is the only French style castle in Slovakia.
The owner was trying to entice his French lady to come live with him, so he spent 10 years or more, and a lot of money, converting the castle to a French look.
After many years, and a fortune, he did not get the girl, and died while still converting the castle.
