Lonely Planet review for Palanok Castle
Mukacheve’s highlight is the hilltop Palanok Castle, which pops up from the surrounding plain as you approach Mukacheve from Uzhhorod, like something in a fairy-tale fantasy. Famous as the site where Croatian-Hungarian princess Ilona Zrini held off the Austrian Emperor’s army for three years before finally capitulating in 1688, the 14th-century castle includes one or two interesting exhibits with English explanations, and has some excellent views.
