Hunyadi Hall is the largest room in Bojnice Castle. Its foundations date back to the Renaissance period to the 16^th century. The then owners of the castle, the Thurzó family, had this large hall attached to the former Middle Castle. According to its designation as a ballroom, it was used for social events such as weddings of members of the Thurzó family. In Bojnice, for example, Francis Thurzó married the then 14-year-old Catherine Zrinski in 1562. Seven years later, the wedding of Francis’s distant relative Alexius II. Thurzó, who married Catherine’s sister Barbara Zrinski, was held here. The hall was given its height over two floors during the baroque rebuilding under Paul Pálffy in the mid-17^th century. Thanks to its excellent acoustic qualities, it is still used for concert events today.

Although it does not appear so at first sight, the lime-plastered vault on the ceiling of the Hunyadi Hall is in fact made of wood. It is also interesting to note that this wooden vault is suspended from the supporting structure of the roof truss. The unique baroque chandelier from the middle of the 18^th century from the manor house in Tovarníky has two floors, ten arms on each floor and a total of 110 bulbs. It is 3 metres high and its diameter exceeds 3.5 metres. The tapestry Joseph and his brothers belongs to the original collections of count John Pálffy and originally hung in the Dining Room of the Count’s Apartment. It was woven in 1625 in Brussels. It depicts a biblical scene from the Old Testament, as the envious sons of Jacob pull their then youngest brother Joseph out of his cistern to sell him to the arriving Ishmaelite merchants in the background of the scene.

The portrait of the Empress Maria Theresa was painted by Daniel Schmidely in 1775. She is depicted in a black robe as a widow. The smaller paintings on the walls are works of Slovak modern art from the collections of the former Regional Gallery of Nitra in Bojnice, which was incorporated into the Bojnice Museum in 1960.
