Uzhhorod Castle, Medieval citadel in Uzhhorod, Ukraine.

The fortress features a trapezoidal layout with 15-meter-high bastions connected by walls containing defensive loopholes and a 10-meter-deep dry moat.

The Drugeth family, Hungarian nobles of Franco-Italian descent, controlled the castle for four centuries and enhanced its fortifications using military architecture innovations.

The castle houses the Zakarpattia Local History Museum, displaying bronze artifacts, historical coins, weapons, and exhibits about regional traditions.

The castle museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 10 AM and 6 PM, with entrance fees of 25 UAH and guided tours for 50 UAH.

The castle cellars contain a wine tasting room presenting regional Zakarpattia wines alongside a historical torture chamber exhibit based on medieval documentation.
