The Sent-Miklosh Castle of Love. History and the Present Day

The mediaeval Sent-Miklosh Castle in Chynadiiovo is a monument of architecture of the 14th-15th centuries, a popular tourist site, and a venue for festivals and plein-airs. But the events of today were preceded by the centuries-long epic of the palace and its owners, and this chronicle is one of the most romantic and dramatic castle stories of Zakarpattia.
