Schönborn palace (Beregvar)

Built between 1890 and 1895 by Erwein-Friedrich von Schönborn-Buchheim, the palace served as a hunting estate and a seasonal residence for the Schönborn family, a prominent Austro-Hungarian aristocratic dynasty.

Surrounded by a picturesque dendrological park featuring rare tree species, a decorative lake, and sculptural compositions, the hunting lodge is renowned for its architectural elegance, blending Romanesque and Gothic motifs with French Renaissance influences.

As a result, Mukacheve including Palanok Castle, Szentmiklós (today named Chynadiyovo), and 200 villages were transferred to the royal treasury.

In 1728, Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor gifted the Mukachevo-Chinadiyiv estate to Lothar Franz von Schönborn (1655–1729), the Archbishop-Elector of Mainz, who had helped to defeat Rákóczi by sending troops.

To promote the economic development of the region, Friedrich Karl von Schönborn populated the Mukachevo-Chinadiiv estate with German immigrants, offering them passports, monetary incentives, land plots, and building materials to construct homes.

Upon his death, his sons divided the estates, leading to the emergence of the Austrian branch of the Schönborn family under Franz Philipp von Schönborn-Buchheim (1768–1841).

After the end of the Russian occupation of Lower Austria in 1955, the family regained Schloss Schönborn and Weyerburg castle, where they to continue to live up to this day.

In October 1997, Countess Christiane Schönborn-Buchheim was awarded the title of "Honorary Citizen of the City of Mukachevo" for her generous charitable assistance.

Since 2010, the sanatorium has expanded its services to include rehabilitation for musculoskeletal disorders, treatment for gastrointestinal conditions, and a department for managing pregnancy pathology.

In this design, every element—whether a chimney, a tower, or other structural features—not only serves its practical purpose but also enhances the building's aesthetic appeal as an ornamental feature.

The castle is richly decorated with intricate elements, including bas-reliefs, weather vanes, and stained glass, reflecting the Schönborn family heraldry.

Rare tree species were planted, including boxwood, catalpa, Weymouth pine, Canadian spruce, Japanese cherry (sakura), pink beech, and Italian honey locust, as well as shrubs like deutzia and hydrangea.
