Facts and practical information

Nestled in the scenic Carpathian foothills near the city of Uzhhorod, Ukraine, lies the historic Nevytske Castle, a fortress that whispers tales of a bygone era. This architectural relic, largely in ruins, dates back to the 13th century and offers a glimpse into Ukraine's medieval past.

The castle's strategic location on a hill overlooking the Uzh River made it a significant defensive stronghold throughout history. Although time has not been kind to Nevytske Castle, its remaining walls, gatehouses, and towers still stand proud, offering visitors a chance to explore and imagine life during its heyday.

Visitors to Nevytske Castle can wander through the remnants of the fortress, taking in the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The ruins are particularly picturesque during sunrise and sunset, when the golden hues cast a magical glow over the stones and the landscape.

While the castle does not boast the grandeur of fully restored fortresses, its charm lies in its authentic, untouched state. This makes it an ideal spot for history buffs, photographers, and those seeking a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

As with many historical sites, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes for the uneven terrain and to bring a camera to capture the evocative scenery. The castle is easily accessible from Uzhhorod, making it a convenient excursion for travelers in the region.
