Saint Miklosz Castle is a fortress built in the 15th century in the Romanesque style. By the end of the 17th century, the castle became a retreat for the passionate romance of Duchess Ilona Zrinyi and her lover, later husband, Count Imre Thököly, whose affair was a European sensation of the time.
Schoenborn Palace was constructed by the Austro-Hungarian Count Schoenborn as a hunting lodge at the end of the 19th century in the Romantic style with Gothic elements. The palace is surrounded by a well-maintained park with rare botanical species. Since 1945, the palace has hosted a health resort for patients with cardiovascular diseases.
Palanok Castle in Mukachevo is a well-preserved fortress, originally built in the 11th century, showcasing various architectural influences from later historical periods. The castle played a significant role in the history of Hungary, Transylvania, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
