You can see the medieval castle from whichever direction you drive into Mukacheve.
It is situated on a low hill.
As early as the 9th-10th centuries on the hill there was a small fortification, built to protect the borders of Kyivan Rus'.
Around the castle hill a ditch was dug, which at one time was filled with water.
Its interior edge was enclosed by an oak palisade (stockade).
No more than five castles of this type have survived in Europe.
At one time the castle housed a prison, then a barracks.
Now there is a historical museum, where, every day, there are many visitors.
