A strong fire and war destroyed the majority of the city’s historical monuments. However, a few of them have survived, and today thousands of travelers come to Trencin to admire its beauty. In the center of city lies Mierove nam Square. In 1712 here was installed a monument named Plague Column. This monument is the reminder of the tragic events of the early 18th century, when hundreds of the city’s inhabitants have died from plague. A small alley starts in the western part of the park. The alley will bring you to one of its landmarks - the city gates. These gates are the symbol of the old city. They were built in 1534.
Walking down Matushovaya Street, you can see the Hangman’s House. Many incredible legends are associated with this historic building. It is the only medieval house that managed to survive on the territory of the city. During the 16th and 17th centuries, a municipal executioner resided in this house. There was a dungeon in the basement where prisoners had been waiting for an execution. Nowadays, a thematic museum occupies lower levels. Rooms on the top floors are used for temporary exhibitions. Local residents and museum staff believe that ghosts inhabit the old house.

The Zupny Dom is definitely worth highlighting among other historical sites. It was built in the second half of the 18th century and provided a location of the County Office. Nowadays, the historic building houses the Trencian Museum - the main city's cultural institution. Its collection includes gatherings of valuable historical, archaeological and ethnographic items, as well as works of art of different periods.

Popular Nimnitsa thermal resort is located in the immediate vicinity of the city. It is worth a visit for every lover of spa treatments and wellness.

There are beautiful lakes and other natural sights next to the complex.
