The Čabraď Castle
Castle
Ruins of the Čabraď Castle are in the Krupinská planina plain in south of Slovakia.
This originally sentry castle first mentioned in 1276 was built to guard the road leading to central Slovakian mining towns. In the 16th century it was rebuilt to the counter-Turk fort, which successfully resisted all Turkish raids. The Koháry family acquired the castle in the 17th century. They later moved into the more comfortable manor house in Svätý Anton and had the castle burned in 1812. The Castle is decaying ever since.
The castle hill of Čabraď and its environs is now the National Nature Reserve with the abundant occurrence of reptiles.

Hont Museum in Šahy
Inštitúcia bola založená v Šahách v roku 1902 ako župné múzeum. Jej vznik iniciovala Hontiansko-župná múzejná spoločnosť na čele s Elemérom Pongráczom. Múzeum zaniklo v dôsledku zmien administratívneho členenia krajiny v roku 1924. Posledným kurátorom bol prvý uhorský olympionik Alajos Szokolyi. Znovuzaloženie inštitúcie ako mestského múzea sa udialo v roku 1992. Od roku 1995 funguje v dvoch budovách- na adrese J. Rotaridesa 13 (Hontianske múzeum) a na adrese Pivničná 1 ( Galéria Ľudovíta Simonyiho, predtým Hontianska galéria).
