Nevytske Castle

[1] The castle is located in the woods on a hill of volcanic origin with a relative elevation of 122 metres (400 ft) and a few hundred meters to the east of a road and river that flows along.

This location of the castle gave it a good opportunity to control the Transcarpathian route over the Uzhok pass (Bieszczady Mountains).

The castle was first mentioned in 1274 belonging to the King of Hungary Laszlo IV as a dungeon or a keep.

In 1644,[1] Prince of Transylvania George II Rákóczi ruined the castle, leaving it much as it stands today.

[1] A decline in defensive importance of the site as well as the remote and inaccessible situation of the castle have preserved it from complete demolition.
