The area of the castle is formed by a group of constructions surrounded by a partially preserved double curtain wall, which is connected to the town walls. The entrance tower, which is linked to the <em>karner<\/em> (charnel house), is located on the northern side of the fortifications. The part of Kremnica Castle is also Church of <strong>St. Catherine<\/strong>. St. Catherina is one of the patrons of the miners. The church tower, rebuilt after the fire in 1560 shows an inscribed date &#8220;1576 &#8211; 1578&#8221;. The shape of the roof as well as the whole interior resulted from an extensive renovation into the gothic revival style executed by F.
