Uzhhorod Сastle, Transcarpathian Museum of Regional History named after Tyvodar Lehotsky

The castle still have a reconstruction exterior works going. But you can walk inside without any problems. There are bastion and museums... it seems to me much bigger from outside than inside. The payed entrance there but cheap.

Liked the castle very much, the guide Iuliana told the stories in a very interesting way. Worth visiting

It was a such a nice museum many sections were present like for War , Architecture, History , Animals , About kingdoms and their residuals.

Beautiful place with historical monuments and artefacts!

Nice historical place, wine tasting should be visited

Wonderful castle and place around

Excellent service, good background music, delicious dishes - all of it in one place. While located right next to the gate of Uzhgorod castle, it also offers some nice view on the castle wall. Personnel act natural and open, with a bit of casual humor, if atmosphere allows it: after realizing that they ran out of mulled wine, hence could not fulfill our order in time, they agreed to suggestion to experiment and brew it with different varieties of local wine, asking our feedback on the taste.

The castle itself is beautiful and obviously historic. but you can go through it rather quickly. The real nostalgia is the outdoor village with several huts, barns, and a church. This is where you want to be sure to spend time and have your camera ready.
This is a wonderful way to spend the day in Uzhgorod with the family.

Admiring place, the castle have kept in a very good state.

It's was a good place with history of many more years and to visit it's good place and tickets are not much costly for students and all.
There is also available caffe and restaurant near it.

In the Uzhorod castle, overwatching the city from above, there is an ethnographic museum and museum of history. As far as I know its the only larger museum in Uzhorod. Maybe the only one at all. If you want to find out more about the Zakarpatian region its a good place where to go. The castle itself is definitely worth to visit too. Be aware that you must pay a fee even if you want to just enter the gardens of the castle.

Ancient Architecture is well maintained by concerned authorities. There is a nice museum inside the castle. Must visit place

Hystorical place, detailly curated

Uzhhorod Castle is an extensive citadel on a hill in Uzhhorod, Ukraine. It was built in a mixture of architectural styles and materials between the 13th and 18th centuries and figured heavily in the history of Hungary. The very name of Uzhhorod/Ungvár refers to the castle, translating as "the Uzh castle".

The earliest stone buildings on the site of the castle may be dated to the 13th century. Charles I of Hungary gave the castle grounds to his Italian supporters from the Drugeth family. They erected a rectangular defensive structure with rhomboid bastions that recalled the castles of South Italy.

The fortification, augmented in the 16th and 17th centuries, underwent numerous sieges (the last one by Francis II Rákóczi in 1703-04) but was never taken. In the 18th century, it was modernised under the supervision of Lemaire, a military engineer from France.

As the male line of the Drugeth family died out in 1691, Kristina Drugeth, heiress to the vast Drugeth dominions, married Count Miklós Bercsényi, making him the third richest man in Hungary. Bercsényi, remembered as a key figure in Rákóczi's War for Independence, resided in the fortified palace within the castle. It was there that he treated with the ambassadors of Peter the Great and Louis XIV concerning the establishment of an anti-Habsburg alliance. In 1711, Bercsényi fled Hungary and his estates were confiscated to the Austrian crown.

As the need for a military stronghold in the area declined with the extension of the Habsburg dominions further to the east, Ungvár Castle was given over to the Ruthenian Greek-Catholic Church which opened a school there. In 1728 and 1879, fire ravaged the castle grounds.

Very nice place :)

Ungvar Castle is very interesting w/ many displays of ancient weapons, artifacts, & beautiful old paintings, & furniture.

Excellent blend of authentic local history and well preserved historic sight. Marvellous local guide.

Visiting this castle was one of the most exciting experiences I've ever had 😻
