Sklabiňa: Where a County Was GovernedSklabiňa: odkiaľ sa spravovala stolica

For centuries this was not simply a castle but an administration — the seat from which the county of Turiec was run, its assemblies held and its records kept, under the hereditary lieutenancy of the Révay family. It survived the Middle Ages, the Ottoman century and the Habsburg wars, and was then burnt out in 1944. Since the 2000s volunteers have been putting it back, one wall-head at a time.Po stáročia to nebol len hrad, ale úrad — sídlo, odkiaľ sa spravovala Turčianska stolica, kde sa konali jej zhromaždenia a uchovávali sa jej písomnosti, pod dedičným županstvom rodu Révaiovcov. Prežil stredovek, osmanské storočie aj habsburské vojny — a v roku 1944 vyhorel. Od 2000-tych rokov ho dobrovoľníci vracajú späť, korunu múru po korune múru.
