Munkács is the iconic town of the hopeless struggle for freedom. According to the legend, the castle rising above the river Latorca was built by Álmos, the leader of the Hungarian tribes, and was named after the arduous work required to build it. Theodor Koriatovich, who found refuge in Hungary and received Munkács from King Sigismund, also contributed to its construction. The ancestors of the Rusyns arrived in Subcarpathia at that time, at end of the 14th century. Still, the castle became famous for the Rákóczi family. Prince Rákóczi György I of Transylvania acquired it for his family. Rákóczi Ferenc I found refuge here, who was maybe the only one taking seriously the urpising against the Habsburgs who betrayed the cause of the liberation of Hungary. His widow, Zrínyi Ilona, remarried to Thököly Imre, who took the leadership of the uprising. After the Turks betrayed and captured Thököly, Munkács became the last Hungarian castle to stand against the Habsburg invasion, under the command of Zrínyi lona. The child Rákóczi Ferenc II, who survived the siege lasting more than two years in the castle with his mother, returned to the town 15 years later leading his own army. The Prince, taking the protection of Hungarian freedom on himself, led the war of independence for 8 years. Munkács was one of its centers, and it was also the last to surrender to the imperial armies on June 24, 1711. The loyal population of Munkács continued to protect the town and the homeland from foreign invaders. In the War of Independence in 1849, the Austrians invading from Galicia and in 1939 the Czech army and the Ukrainian Sich Guard of Voloshin were forced to retreat by their heroism. However, they were finally outnumbered, in both cases by the Russians, who in 1944 found the ultimate sollution to resistance in the deportation of the Hungarians. Since then, Cyrillic letters have dominated the town, but the turul bird on the castle bastion patiently and proudly awaits the resurrection.

The present-day Subcarpathia was mostly uninhabited.@after 895|According to the legend the construction of the castle was ordered by Grand Prince \u00c1lmos, and it was named \u0022Munk\u00e1s\u0022 (meaning a work that is hard to do) in memory of the hard work of the crossing of the mountains. The first, possibly wooden, guard tower on the castle hill was likely built by Hungarians.According to the tradition, the leader of the Hungarians, \u00c1lmos, set up camp on the hill where the former Basilian monastery stands, while the high priest of Had\u00far camped on the hill where now the castle stands. At dawn \u00c1lmos saw smoke rising from the castle hill. He sent out horsemen to check whether it was an enemy beacon. When they returned, they told him that the high priest was presenting a sacrifice to the god of the Hungarians in order to give thanks for the safe passage through the Carpathians. He cut down a fat white stallion according to the antient custom. Prince \u00c1lmos himself appeared at the ritual, and he really liked the place. He asked the high priest to change campgrounds. The reluctant high priest was finally convinced by a beautiful white horse. \u00c1lmos immediately began building the castle. The army rested here for forty days, and during that time significant progress was made in the construction. Then the whole army moved on towards Ungv\u00e1r, leaving only the builders behind. Then the old \u00c1lmos handed over power to \u00c1rp\u00e1d. \u00c1rp\u00e1d was lifted on a shield according to an ancient custom and was elected leader. The builders of Munk\u00e1cs Castle caught up with the Hungarians at Szerencs. When they were asked about the progress of the construction, they said: \u0022God save our enemy from such a laborous (munk\u00e1s in Hungarian) place\u0022, since they could only bring the wood and stone up the rocky hill on their shoulders.@#3|@1064|King Salamon of Hungary gave Munk\u00e1cs to his cousin, Prince L\u00e1szl\u00f3.

The brothers returned with the army provided by King Boles\u0142aw II, and Salamon retreated to Moson Castle. They finally reached agreement through the intercession of Bishop Dezs\u0151 of Gy\u0151r, according to which Salamon could keep the crown, but in return G\u00e9za became Duke (heir to the throne of Hungary), and his brothers also received estates commensurate with their rank.@1085|The former king Salamon broke into Hungary with his army of the Cuman Prince Kutesk, the lord of Moldavia, to seize the crown from King L\u00e1szl\u00f3 I.

The first, possibly wooden, guard tower on the castle hill was likely built by Hungarians.According to the tradition, the leader of the Hungarians, \u00c1lmos, set up camp on the hill where the former Basilian monastery stands, while the high priest of Had\u00far camped on the hill where now the castle stands. At dawn \u00c1lmos saw smoke rising from the castle hill. He sent out horsemen to check whether it was an enemy beacon. When they returned, they told him that the high priest was presenting a sacrifice to the god of the Hungarians in order to give thanks for the safe passage through the Carpathians. He cut down a fat white stallion according to the antient custom. Prince \u00c1lmos himself appeared at the ritual, and he really liked the place. He asked the high priest to change campgrounds. The reluctant high priest was finally convinced by a beautiful white horse. \u00c1lmos immediately began building the castle. The army rested here for forty days, and during that time significant progress was made in the construction. Then the whole army moved on towards Ungv\u00e1r, leaving only the builders behind. Then the old \u00c1lmos handed over power to \u00c1rp\u00e1d. \u00c1rp\u00e1d was lifted on a shield according to an ancient custom and was elected leader. The builders of Munk\u00e1cs Castle caught up with the Hungarians at Szerencs.

The brothers returned with the army provided by King Boles\u0142aw II, and Salamon retreated to Moson Castle. They finally reached agreement through the intercession of Bishop Dezs\u0151 of Gy\u0151r, according to which Salamon could keep the crown, but in return G\u00e9za became Duke (heir to the throne of Hungary), and his brothers also received estates commensurate with their rank.@1085|The former king Salamon broke into Hungary with his army of the Cuman Prince Kutesk, the lord of Moldavia, to seize the crown from King L\u00e1szl\u00f3 I.

They came to Hungary with the wife of King Andrew I of Hungary, Anastasia, the daughter of Grand Prince Yaroslav of Kiev.\nIn 1396, after having betrayed Grand Duke Vytautas the Great, Prince Fyodor Koriatovych of Podolia fled from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to Hungary He received the castle of Munk\u00e1cs and its surroundings from King Sigismund of Hungary as a fief. Along with the Ruthenians who accompanied him, monks also arrived who founded the monastery on the Black Hill.\nAccording to a legend, Prince Fyodor was attacked by a snake during a hunt. He could only defeat it by calling St. Nicholas for help. Therefore, out of gratitude, he erected a monastery there in honor of the saint. The monastery was an important center of Slavic culture in Subcarpathia (which anyway was only a geographical and not an administrative unit until 1920).\nThe first documented mention of the monastery can be found in the charter of King Matthias of Hungary dated August 14, 1458.\nIn 1491 the monastery became the seat of the Eastern Orthodox Diocese of Munk\u00e1cs founded at the end of the 15th century. It burned down in the internal war in 1537, but was rebuilt. \nIn 1646, in the Union of Ungv\u00e1r, the Eastern Orthodox Church in Hungary returned to the authority of the Pope and established the Greek Catholic Church. At that time the monastery joined the Greek Catholic Basilian monastic order. \nThe monastery was a wooden building until the 16th century. Its first stone church was built in 1661 in early Baroque style. \nIn 1751, under Bishop Olsavszky Mih\u00e1ly Man\u00f3, the Greek Catholic episcopal seat moved from the monastery to Munk\u00e1cs (it is located in Ungv\u00e1r since 1780). Today's Baroque monastery building was built between 1766 and 1772, and its foundation stone was laid by Bishop Olsavszky Mih\u00e1ly Man\u00f3.\nThe Church of St. Nicholas was consecrated on August 27, 1859 by Bishop Popovics Vazul. \nThe monastery also had a school and a rich library. In 1946, the Soviets abolished the Greek Catholic Church and forcibly wanted to merge it into the Eastern Orthodox Church. The monks refused this one by one, so they were exiled. The monastery was then turned into an Orthodox female convent.\n"},{"sightId":987,"townId":49,"active":1,"name_LO":"\u041a\u0430\u0444\u0435\u0434\u0440\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u0441\u043e\u0431\u043e\u0440 \u043d\u0430 \u0447\u0435\u0441\u0442\u044c \u041f\u043e\u0447\u0430\u0457\u0432\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0457 \u0406\u043a\u043e\u043d\u0438 \u0411\u043e\u0436\u043e\u0457 \u041c\u0430\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0456","address":"Fedorova St, 7","mapdata":"1|665|1060","gps_lat":"48.4403350000","gps_long":"22.7185420000","religion":5,"oldtype":"1","newtype":"1","homepage":"https:\/\/mukacheve-sob.church.ua\/","openinghours":"","muemlekemlink":"","csemadoklink":"","picture":"\u003Ca title=\u0022Thaler Tamas \/ CC BY-SA (https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0)\u0022 href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Munkacs5FotoThalerTamas.JPG\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg width=\u0022512\u0022 alt=\u0022Munkacs5FotoThalerTamas\u0022 src=\u0022https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/b\/bc\/Munkacs5FotoThalerTamas.JPG\/512px-Munkacs5FotoThalerTamas.JPG\u0022\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E","picture_ref":"\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Munkacs5FotoThalerTamas.JPG\u0022 title=\u0022via Wikimedia Commons\u0022\u003EThaler Tamas\u003C\/a\u003E \/ \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\u0022\u003ECC BY-SA\u003C\/a\u003E","name":"Church of Pochaiv Madonna Icon","seolink":"church-of-pochaiv-madonna-icon","note":"","history":"Orthodox church built between 1992-1993."},{"sightId":988,"townId":49,"active":1,"name_LO":"","address":"Chervonoarmijska St, 75","mapdata":"3|579|351","gps_lat":"48.4489380000","gps_long":"22.7184570000","religion":4,"oldtype":"1","newtype":"1","homepage":"","openinghours":"","muemlekemlink":"","csemadoklink":"","picture":"\u003Ca title=\u0022Alex Zelenko \/ CC BY-SA (https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0)\u0022 href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Ukraine-Mukacheve-Church_of_Nativity_of_Virgin_Mary-2.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg width=\u0022512\u0022 alt=\u0022Ukraine-Mukacheve-Church of Nativity of Virgin Mary-2\u0022 src=\u0022https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/a\/af\/Ukraine-Mukacheve-Church_of_Nativity_of_Virgin_Mary-2.jpg\/512px-Ukraine-Mukacheve-Church_of_Nativity_of_Virgin_Mary-2.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E","picture_ref":"\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Ukraine-Mukacheve-Church_of_Nativity_of_Virgin_Mary-2.jpg\u0022 title=\u0022via Wikimedia Commons\u0022\u003EAlex Zelenko\u003C\/a\u003E \/ \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\u0022\u003ECC BY-SA\u003C\/a\u003E","name":"Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church","seolink":"nativity-of-the-blessed-virgin-mary-church","note":"","history":"It was built on the site of a former wooden church.

After her husband's death, Ilona married Th\u00f6k\u00f6ly Imre in 1672. Prince Th\u00f6k\u00f6ly Imre of Upper Hungary, the leader of the anti-Habsurg kuruc uprising, fortified the castle. The imperial army reached the castle in November 1685. In the absence of her husband, the defenders were led by Zr\u00ednyi Ilona. After seven months of fruitless siege, General Caprara withdrew in April 1686, but he took his revenge by plundering the town of Munk\u00e1cs. Carpara returned to the castle in November 1687. By this time it was the last Hungarian castle that had not yet fallen into imperial hands. On January 15, 1688, the castle was handed over by Zr\u00ednyi Ilona in exchange for the amnesty granted to the defenders. \nThen they put Zr\u00ednyi Ilona in a convent in Vienna, and took her son, R\u00e1k\u00f3czi Ferenc II, from her.\nWhen General Hesiter was captured by Th\u00f6k\u00f6ly Imre in 1690, Th\u00f6k\u00f6ly exchanged him for Zr\u00ednyi Ilona. She accompanied Th\u00f6k\u00f6ly Imre into exile in 1699 and died in 1703 in Nicomedia, Turkey.\nR\u00e1k\u00f3czi Ferenc II arrived in Munk\u00e1cs with his army on June 16, 1703, and stayed in the R\u00e1k\u00f3czi Mansion, as the castle was in the hands of the imperials.

They were relatives, because his sister was Sigismund's mother.\nOn his instructions, the castle was surrounded by moat, walls and four round bastions in 1401. A 85 meters deep well was also dug in the courtyard of the castle. He had an Orthodox monastery built on the banks of the Latorca river (on the Black Hill), which later had a rich library.
