The town of Šaštín-Stráže (Hungarian: Sasvár-Morvaőr) is located in western Slovakia in the Trnava Region in the Senica District. The most prominent landmark of the town and an important place of pilgrimage is a monumental complex of sacral buildings consisting of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows, the former Pavlínov monastery with farm buildings, the Chapel of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows and the Pieta statue. Other notable buildings in the town include the churches of St. John Bosco and St. Elizabeth and the Jewish synagogue. In the past, there was also a fortified castle (manor house) on the right bank of the river Myjava near Šaštín, which is now considerably altered and converted into an industrial area. A small hunting lodge, Belveder, used to stand in the woods about 1 km northeast of the castle. Near the town there are water areas with a recreation centre Gazárka.
