Uzhhorod Castle CASTLE
OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP
(vul Kapitalna; admission 15uah; 10am-6pm Tue-Sun) On the hill overlooking town stands
the 15th-century castle with massive walls and beefy bastions built to withstand Turkish
assaults. The main palace is home to the Transcarpathian Museum of Local Lore ,
which has a good collection of pysanky (patterned eggs), regional folk costume, some
Hutsul musical instruments including nine tremibity (the Carpathian didgeridoo) and a
section on interwar Transcarpathia - fascinating for those with an interest in central
European history.
The tranquil grounds are also fun to wander and the bastion in the northeast corner
provides views across Uzhhorod. If you have an urge to try the local plonk, wine tast-
ings (6 wines 45uah; 10am-6pm) take place in the castle's atmospheric brick cellars with
friendly sommeliers on hand.
