Culture

The Púchov culture is dated from the 2nd century BC to the 2nd century AD; its heyday was in the 1st century AD. A central site associated with this heritage is Župný dom, a Baroque-Classical building commissioned by Imrich Marczibányi at the end of the 18th century. It was originally used as a salt warehouse and administrative building. Today, it houses the Museum of Púchov Culture. The exhibition includes selected archaeological artefacts such as brooches, a neck-ring form, parts of axes, spears, a javelin, a knife, and smaller tools and implements.

On Moravská ulica stands a memorial parish house built in 1904, which was the place of work of the Slovak poet and Protestant pastor Vladimír Roy from 1911 to 1925. Another memorial plaque commemorates Jan Amos Comenius's stay in Púchov. The Protestant church is also located on Moravská ulica; it is a Neo-Gothic building from 1880 with a Renaissance altar dating from 1643. Cultural periods from the Older Stone Age to Roman times have been identified at Púchovská skala.
