Palanok Castle Chronicles
5.0 of 5 bubblesNov 2021
On November 10, a new exposition "Palanok Castle Chronicles" was opened The exposition tells about the history of the castle from the time of the first mentions to the present day in an interactive and interesting format. The concept aims to highlight three main elements: the construction of the castle in different eras, events and figures that influenced its history and development. Each element of interactive design encourages to learn the story and transforms the visitor from a passive spectator to an active participant in the exhibition. The exposition invites the visitor to immerse themselves in the historical events of the past: to feel like a defender of the walls, to try to conquer the castle or to become a medieval architect-builder. For this purpose, an interactive block of the digital exposition “Palanok Castle Chronicles” will be useful. It combines texts, graphics, 3D reconstructions, images and much more in a convenient and accessible form, which can be literally touched on touch screens. The exposition was created in cooperation with the projects "Palanok Castle Chronicles" and "SmartMuseum as a way to present cultural heritage" The project "SmartMuseum as a way to present cultural heritage", HUSKROUA /1702/3.1/0026 is carried out with the support of the European Union in the framework of the Hungary-Slovakia-Romania-Ukraine ENI CBC Programme 2014-2020. The project "Palanok Castle Chronicles" 4REG21-29851 is implemented as part of the “Culture. Tourism. Regions” program jointly organized by Ukrainian Cultural Foundation (UCF), and State Agency for Tourism Development of Ukraine.

When visiting Transcarpathia, one of the interesting excursions is to Mukachevo with a visit to Palanok Castle.
The architecture itself is interesting, a beautiful panorama of Mukachevo. On the territory there is a very deep well and a lot of antiquities.
The downside is that many halls were closed + in some the exhibits are dusty, there is a feeling that the museum is not well maintained...

So we went to the Castle which is a 15 minute ride on the bus. Then you walk up the hill to get there. The cost for admission is cheap $ or 5 Dollars I forget. The place is huge and every room has detailed descriptions . There is a restaurant which serves Classical Food from the era. There are Dungeon Rooms etc. We spent over 3 hours there and you can make a day out of it to really take in the History. Ukraine would have a King living there and then Hungary or another country would attack , kill the king and take over. Zakarpatskaya area is fertile and very desirable to own.

Nice castle with many small exhibitions inside (torture chamber, military history, some art gallery, souvenir shop etc.). You can buy some food there too. Good entrance fee and of course nice view. You can park below the castle and way up there is quite short, about 15 minutes.

We visited this castlel during our visit to Mukachevo. It’s privately owned. Some artists show their works there . It’s not a real must visit.

The incline and large cobblestones made the walk up difficult for some people. The castle is historically interesting. There is a locked room with memorabilia of the Jewish community of Mukacheve. One of the staff opened it for us.

Easy to get here and interesting to see. I recommend visiting this castle as it has a very interesting history and is considered a national treasure by Hungarians as well as Ukrainians.

Magnificent castle, which is located on the mountain with great views. Was many times in Mukachevo, but never visit this castle. Castle beautifully restored and well maintained. Near the castle there is a parking place, but on the weekend its crowded there, so best to leave your car below. I recommend to visit.

The castle is nicely renovated. Several small exhibitions present the history and most famous stories of Mukachevo and the castle, e.g Rákóczi era, ancient history of Mukachevo, the painter Mihály Munkácsy, the poet Sándor Petőfi. The view to the city is great, worth to go up to every bastion. Some English audio guide would be practical to learn more about the castle and the city, or some English tour guide.
