Hungarian/German architecture.
Castle in Bajmóc/Bojnice:
Hungarian aristocrats built and possessed the castle since the 1242. The present form was the work of Hubert József architect from Budapest. The procurer was graf Pálffy János, Hungarian aristocrat.
Kék templom/Modrý kostolík in Pozsony/Pressburg:
One of the best example of the Hungarian art nouveau. The architect was Lechner Ödön and the procurer was graf Apponyi Albert Hungarian Minister of Religion and Education
Royal castle in Pozsony/Pressburg:
This was one of the most important Hungarian royal castle in the Hungarian border. This fortification was basically the western gate of Hungary, the western Belgrad for the kingdom. And Pozsony was the Hungarian capital after fall of Buda on the time of the Hungarian-Ottoman wars. The present form is the product of the Czechoslovakian restauration project after the second world war. The Slovakian population was insignificant before the first world war.
Bártfa/Bartfeld:
Small former German (Saxon) city in the Eastern highland. The city's German and Hungarian majority was chased away in the course of the ethnic cleansing after the two world war:
Saint Elisabeth church - Kassa/Kaschau:
One of the former rich German-Hungarian royal cities. The city played an important role in the Hungarian history and this city was the center of North-Eastern Hungary and controlled the trade with Poland. The Saint Elisabeth church's constructors worked on the Saint Michael church of Kolozsvár too. The city's Hungarian majority was partially chased away in the course of the ethnic cleansing after the two world war. The Slovakian population was insignificant before the first world war.
etc.

Yes, I fully disagree it is Slovakian architecture, these buildings are only on the territory of today's Slovakia now. All palaces, castles and manors in modern territory of Slovakia were build by Hungarian aristocrats/nobleman (some were Polish). Slovaks lived in huts at the time when these palaces and castles were build. No politics, just history.

Shall I kill off this thread since everyone seems to agree that this is not Slovak architecture?

Not all, there was ethnic Slovakian noblemans too. But basically all of the important castle, church or other building was Hungarian or German. Or more punctually this was little more complex, since the Slovakian rural churches built in the gothic, renaissance, baroque etc. style of the Hungarian architecture (sometimes with some Bohemian, Polish, etc. influence near the borders), so the difference between the Slovakian, Hungarian and German terms sometimes is the ethnic background of the local community only.
