History
It was created by several reconstructions of the original Pezinok water castle, which was built at the turn of the 13th - 14th centuries by the counts from Svätý Jura and Pezinok. The castle was built on a circular plan around the courtyard. The defense of the castle rested on the castle walls, two towers and the outer fortifications, which consisted of two ramparts and two moats. There were extensive wine cellars under the castle. The ditches were spanned by two bridges. Baron Krušič and later Štefan Ilešházy and finally the Pálffy family were among the owners of the castle.

It was created by several reconstructions of the original Pezinok water castle, which was built at the turn of the 13th - 14th centuries by the counts from Svätý Jura and Pezinok. The castle was built on a circular plan around the courtyard. The defense of the castle rested on the castle walls, two towers and the outer fortifications, which consisted of two ramparts and two moats. There were extensive wine cellars under the castle. The ditches were spanned by two bridges. Baron Krušič and later Štefan Ilešházy and finally the Pálffy family were among the owners of the castle.

In 1875, lightning damaged the northern part of the building, which had to be demolished. At the beginning of the 20th century, a new building was built on this site. In 1931, the Castle was bought by the city, which in 1936 sold it to the Slovak Vineyard Cooperative. Despite many reconstructions, the Castle has preserved the layout of a medieval water castle and is considered a unique architectural monument in Slovakia.
