Nevytske Castle

Very beautiful place, lots of places to take a good photos and also spend a good time.

Really special historical place but needed to be helps with the reconstruction and care from local authorities.

True castle with it's own special vibe. Very happy to see some restoration works going on.
You have to walk to the castle through an awful "tunnel of shame" because a big part of forest in front of the castle is now a private hotel with a closed territory. A miserable evidence of failed land administration

Perfect place for relax hiking

Great Castle

Very nice place, good view ...

Nevytske Castle is a semi-ruined castle in Zakarpattia Oblast, Ukraine. It is located 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) north of Uzhhorod near villages Nevytske and Kamianytsia, Uzhhorod Raion along the H13. The castle is located in woods on the hill of volcanic origin with relative elevation of 122 metres (400 ft) and few hundred meters to the east of the road and river that flows along. Such location of the castle was giving a good opportunity to control Transcarpathian route over the Uzhok pass (Bieszczady Mountains).

The castle was first mentioned in 1274 belonging to the King of Hungary Laszlo IV as a dungeon or a keep. Completely rebuilt in the early 15th century, it, towering over the Uzh River, was the mighty citadel of the Drugeth family which supervised its continuous modernisation over the centuries. The keep, rebuilt in its present form in the early 16th century, passed from hand to hand during the internecine strife that convulsed Hungary in the early 17th century.

In 1644, Prince of Transylvania George II Rákóczi ruined the castle, leaving it much as it stands today. A decline in defensive importance of the site as well as the remote and inaccessible situation of the castle have preserved it from complete demolition. Near the site is located Uzhhorod Military Training Center.

Wonderful ruins. Free entrance, free to walk around. But be careful with the ice during cold seasons, and some parts are fragile - don't damage them, even by negligence.
How to get there: Bus from Uzhhorod Terminal 1 (train station) or Terminal 2 (city centre). 9 hryvni. Frequent service till 19:30. Get off at Kam'yanytsya then walk up. Best to inform the driver in advance so you won't miss this stop. Passenger trains are no longer operational there.

Free to roam the castle, almost too free. Could be dangerous if one of those old walls falls down which are everywhere but great for pics.

It's a wonderful! Can touch to history, to historical stones... And the view is fantastic!

Good place to climb with kids, although not safe for them

It's a great castle that is unfortunately ruined. I hope that in some time it will be reconstructed.

Super
