About

The Palanok Castle or Mukachevo Castle (Ukrainian: Замок "Паланок", romanized: Zamok "Palanok"; Hungarian: Munkács vára or Munkácsi vár; German: Plankenburg) is a historic castle in the city of Mukachevo in the western Ukrainian oblast (province) of Zakarpattia. The Palanok Castle is delicately preserved, and is located on a 68-metre-high (223 ft) former volcanic hill. The castle complex consists of three parts: the high, middle, and low castle.
