Old Castle played a strategic role in the past due to its location. It controlled an important ford across the Váh River in the Strečno Gorge. It was an important passage from the upper Váh region towards Turiec and Liptov. It was also a toll station. The locality is significantly rich in tourist attractions. In addition to the Old Castle, there is also Strečno Castle from a later period, which is in a better state of preservation.
