Palanok Castle is located on the top of an extinct volcano. The entrance is allowed only to the base of the mountain, further on its two stone-paved roads. From the foot of the castle, as well as from several levels of the castle itself, wonderful views of Mukachevo open up. Unfortunately, the climate is so humid that nothing can be seen further than the city, although the altitude allows it. The castle is surrounded by a moat more than 6 meters deep and consists of three tiers - lines of defense. The castle has a very rich history, it survived numerous raids, sieges, passed from hand to hand several times and acquired a bunch of legends. So connoisseurs of history will be interested in the story of the guide. The whiter that Palanok is very old - the first mention of it was in the tenth century. And at the same time, it is not known who built it - such a mystery! The territory of the castle itself is also impressive - about 14 thousand square meters. meters. There are interesting exhibits and premises, devices for the defense of the castle.
But most of all I was impressed by the church, which is allowed to use all Christian denominations. That is, if someone has a desire to get married, baptized, etc. , in this temple, you just need to agree on the time for the ceremony and bring your clergyman. The church has various symbols of faith - icons, figurines, crosses. It is very modest in size, it smells of wax, it has a very pleasant atmosphere, a lot of light. But the main thing is that people were able to agree on a similar use of this spiritual place. This is very inspiring!
There are many souvenir stalls on the territory and you can take pictures in costumes. In a word, the place is interesting, good and rich in impressions!
