It was ordered by Louis I the Great as a hunting resort of Hungarian kings. Gothic architecture of the castle built between 1360 and 1382 was inspired by Italian castles of the 14th century. Italian masons also contributed to a Renaissance reconstruction in 1548. Zvolen Castle hosts a gallery and a popular tea room.
