The town by the Tisza River was the historical seat of Ugocsa County. The settlement was established on the border of the hunting ground of ​​the Hungarian kings of the House of Árpád. Its first inhabitants were possibly royal viticulturists, and it got its name from the vineyards (szőlős) on the southern slopes of the Black Hill. More than one castle stood on the Black Hill over time. The last one was built by the Perényi family, who acquired Nagyszőlős in 1399. The castle was later called Ugocsa Castle and it protected the Salt Road along the Tisza River. The Perényi family, as the largest landowners of the region, played a decisive role in the history of the settlement. Ugocsa Castle fell victim to the internal war, that broke out in Hungary due to the election of two kings after the Battle of Mohács. According to the custom of the era, the Perényi family changed sides and religious denominations multiple times. After 1570, the area became a collision zone between the Habsburg-ruled Kingdom of Hungary and the Principality of Transylvania, considered to be the strongest bastion of Hungarian independence, and the town changed hands several times. The Hungarian town stood on the side of independence in both wars of independence, the one led by Rákóczi Ferenc II and the one between 1848 and 1849. Baron Perényi Zsigmond was executed in 1849 by the Austrians for signing the Declaration of Independence. The town lost its Hungarian majority due to the tragedies of the 20th century - the annexation to Czechoslovakia in 1920, the deportation of the population by the Soviets in 1944, and the state-organized migration of Ukrainians from over the Carpathians. In addition to its churches, the outstanding attraction of the town is the beautiful mansion of the Perényi family, which unfortunately can only be admired from the outside.

Mongol Invasion
Little more...
1241-1242
The hordes of the Mongol Empire invaded Hungary and almost completely destroyed it. One third to one half of the population was destroyed. The Mongols also suffered heavy losses in the battle of Muhi and they could not hunt down the king. After their withdrawal, King Béla IV reorganized Hungary. He allowed the feudal lords to build stone castles because they were able to successfully resist the nomadic Mongols. The vast majority of stone castles were built after this. The king called in German, Vlach (Romanian) and Slavic settlers to replace the destroyed population.

The settlement was mentioned for the first time as Zceuleus. It is one of the oldest settlements of the historical Ugocsa County, its first inhabitants were possibly royal viticulturists. It was a free royal town, which was granted a charter by King Béla IV of Hungary already in 1262. The settlement got its name from the vineyards (szőlős) on the southern slopes of the Black Hill next to it. The area is excellent for grape cultivation. Given that the Hungarian word for grapes changed from 'szöllő' to 'szőlő' in 1953, the settlement's name at the beginning of the 20th century was Nagy-Szőllős. Nagy means great. The Rusyn name, Sevlush, comes from the Hungarian.

The extinction of the House of Árpád
Little more...
1301
The House of Árpád, the first Hungarian royal dynasty, died out with the death of King Andrew III. Hungary was ruled by oligarchs, the most powerful of whom was Csák Máté, whose main ally was the Aba family.

July 1, 1317
King Charles I besieged Adorján Castle, where Borsa Kopasz retreated. It was occupied with a heavy siege, but Borsa Kopas managed to escape to Sólyomkő Castle. Since the castle was deemed impregnable, two adjacent forts were built and the royal army began to starve out the oligarch. Finally Borsa Kopasz had to surrender.

1405
King Sigismund of Hungary gave Perényi Péter also the castle of Királyháza, formerly owned by the Drágfy family. Both castles controlled the strategically important Salt Road along the valley of river Tisza.

Sultan Suleiman I launched a war against Vienna, instigated by the French. Ferdinand I, Duke of Austria, was the brother-in-law of King Louis II of Hungary. The army of the Ottoman Empire defeated the much smaller Hungarian army at Mohács, and King Louis II died in the battle. A group of the barons elected Ferdinand I of the House of Habsburg to the throne, who promised to defend Hungary from the Turks. He was the younger brother of the most powerful European monarch Emperor Charles V. But the nobility chose the most powerful Hungarian baron, Szapolyai János, who was also crowned as King John I. The country was split in two and a decades-long struggle for power began.
November 1526
The representative of Ugocsa County was the only one at the Hungarian country assemby in Pozsony to say: „Ugocsa non coronat”, in other words he was the only one to say no to the coronation of Archduke Ferdinand of Habsburg, the younger brother of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor.

Little more...
1541
The Turks conquered Buda, the capital of Hungary, after the death of King John I. The central part of the country was under Turkish rule for 150 years. The western and northern parts (including present-day Slovakia) formed the Kingdom of Hungary ruled by the Habsburg emperors. The eastern parts (now mainly under Romanian rule) were ruled by the successors of King John I of Hungary, who later established the Principality of Transylvania.
1556
The lord of Nagyszőlős, Perényi Ferenc switched from Ferdinand to the widow of King John I, Queen Isabella, and together with his father-in-law, Bebek Ferenc, he carried out several attacks against the royal troops.

The alliance of the Habsburgs and the Principality of Transylvania was defeated by the Ottoman Empire in the Fifteen Years' War. The war devastated Transylvania, which was occupied by the Habsburg imperial army, and General Basta introduced a reign of terror. The nobility and the burghers were upset about the terror, the plundering mercenaries and the violent Counter-Reformation. Bocskai István decided to lead their uprising after the Habsburg emperor tried to confiscate his estates. Bocskai also rallied the hajdú warriors to his side. He was elected Prince of Transylvania and soon liberated the Kingdom of Hungary from the Habsburgs. In 1605 Bocskai István was crowned King of Hungary with the crown he received from the Turks.
1606
According to the Peace of Vienna, Ugocsa County, including Nagyszőlős, became part of the Principality of Transylvania. But Prince Bocskai István died the same year (he was presumably poisoned) and, as he had no son, Ugocsa County returned to the Hungarian crown under the terms of the peace treaty.

The whole Kingdom of Hungary joined him, only the Austrian defenders of Pozsony had to be put to the sword. With his allies, he laid siege to Vienna. However, he was forced to abandon the siege because the Habsburg-loyal Hungarian aristocrat Homonnai Drugeth György attacked his heartland with Polish mercenaries. On 25 August 1620, the Diet of Besztercebánya elected Bethlen Gábor King of Hungary as vassal of the Turks. He continued to fight after the defeat of the Czechs at White Mountain on 8 November 1620, but without real chance to achieve decisive victory, he decided to come to an agreement with Emperor Ferdinand II.

Recapture of Buda and the liberation of Hungary from the Turks
Little more...
1686
The army of the Holy League recaptured Buda from the Turks by siege. In 1687, the Imperial army invaded the Principality of Transylvania. The liberation was hindered by the French breaking their promise of peace in 1688 and attacking the Habsburg Empire. By 1699, when the Peace of Karlóca was signed, all of Hungary and Croatia had been liberated from the Ottoman Empire with the exception of Temesköz, the area bounded by the Maros, the Tisza and the Danube rivers. It was not until the Peace of Požarevac in 1718 that Temesköz was liberated from the Turks. However, the continuous war against the Turkish invaders and the Habsburg autocracy, which lasted for more than 150 years, wiped out large areas of the Hungarian population, which had previously made up 80% of the country's population, and was replaced by Vlachs (Romanians), Serbs and other Slavic settlers and Germans. The Habsburgs also favoured the settlement of these foreign peoples over the 'rebellious' Hungarians.
1703-1711
Hungarian War of Independence led by Prince Rákóczi Ferenc II
Little more...
1703-1711
After the expulsion of the Turks, the Habsburgs treated Hungary as a newly conquered province and did not respect its constitution. The serfs rose up against the Habsburg ruler because of the sufferings caused by the war and the heavy burdens, and they invited Rákóczi Ferenc II to lead them. Trusting in the help promised by King Louis XIV of France, he accepted. Rákóczi rallied the nobility to his side, and soon most of the country was under his control. The rebels were called the kurucs. In 1704, the French and the Bavarians were defeated at the Battle of Blenheim, depriving the Hungarians of their international allies. The Rusyn, Slovak and Vlach peasants and the Saxons of Szepes supported the fight for freedom, while the Serbs in the south and the Saxons in Transylvania served the Habsburgs. Due to lack of funds Rákóczi could not raise a strong regular army, and in 1710, Hungary was also hit by a severe plague. Rákóczi tried unsuccessfully to forge an alliance with Tsar Peter the Great of Russia. In his absence, without his knowledge, his commander-in-chief, Károlyi Sándor, accepted Emperor Joseph I's peace offer. The Peace of Szatmár formally restored the Hungarian constitution and religious freedom and granted amnesty, but did not ease the burden of serfdom. Rákóczi refused to accept the pardon and went into exile. He died in Rodosto, Turkey.
July 1703
The citizens of the town drove away the Austrian authorities and remained faithful to Prince Rákóczi Ferenc II until May 1711, the fall of the Hungarian War of Independence.

1848-1849
Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence
Little more...
1848-1849
Following the news of the Paris Revolution on 22 February 1848, the Hungarian liberal opposition led by Kossuth Lajos demanded the abolition of serfdom, the abolition of the tax exemption of the nobility, a parliament elected by the people, and an independent and accountable national government. The revolution that broke out in Pest on 15 March expressed its demands in 12 points, which, in addition to the above mentioned, included the freedom of the press, equality before the law, the release of the political prisoners and the union with Transylvania. A Hungarian government was formed, Batthyány Lajos became prime minister, and on 11 April Emperor Ferdinand V ratified the reform laws. On August 31 the Emperor demanded the repeal of the laws threatening with military intervention. In September the Emperor unleashed the army of Jelacic, Ban of Croatia, on Hungary, but they were defeated by the Hungarians in the Battle of Pákozd on 29 September. An open war began for the independence of Hungary. The Habsburgs incited the nationalities against the Hungarians. The Rusyns, the Slovenes and most of the Slovaks and Germans supported the cause persistently, but the Vlachs (Romanians) and the Serbians turned against the Hungarians. The glorious Spring Campaign in 1849 led by General Görgei Artúr liberated almost all of Hungary. On 1 May 1849, Emperor Franz Joseph, effectively admitting defeat, asked for the help of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia, who sent an intervention army of 200,000 soldiers against Hungary. The resistance became hopeless against the overwhelming enemy forces and on 13 August Görgei Artúr surrendered to the Russians at Világos. Bloody reprisals followed, and on 6 October 1849, 12 generals and a colonel of the Hungarian Revolution, the martyrs of Arad, were executed in Arad. On the same day, Batthyány Lajos, the first Hungarian Prime Minister, was executed by firing squad in Pest. The Habsburgs introduced total authoritarianism in Hungary, but they also failed to fulfil their promises to the nationalities that had betrayed the Hungarians.
1848-1849
The population of present-day Subcarpathia, including the Rusyn minority, fought on the side of the Hungarian War of Independence.
April 14, 1849
Perényi Zsigmond, as Speaker of the House of Magnates (the upper chamber of the Parliament of Hungary), also signed Hungary's Declaration of Independence with the leadership of Kossuth Lajos. After the Hungarian surrender at Világos due to Russian military intervention, Perényi Zsigmond was put before a military tribunal in Pest, sentenced to death and hanged.
1867
Austro-Hungarian Compromise
Little more...
1867
The Habsburg Empire was weakened by the defeats it suffered in the implementation of Italian and German unity. The Hungarians wanted to return to the reform laws of 1848, but they did not have the strength to do so. Emperor Franz Joseph and the Hungarian opposition, led by Deák Ferenc, finally agreed to restructure the Empire and abolish absolutism. Hungary was given autonomy in its internal affairs, with its own government and parliament, which was essential for the development of its economy and culture. However, foreign and military affairs remained in the hands of the Habsburgs and served their aspiration for becoming a great power. The majority wanted Hungary's independence, but they were excluded from political power.

November 1918 - January 1919
In Hungary, the freemasonic subversion brought the pro-Entente Károlyi Mihály to power. The new government, naively trusting the Entente powers, met all their demands and disbanded the Hungarian military, which rendered the country completely defenseless in the most dire need. Under French and Italian command, Czech, Romanian and Serbian troops invaded large parts of Hungary, where they immediately began the takeover. They fired Hungarian railway workers, officials and teachers, banned the use of the Hungarian language, abolished Hungarian education, and disposed of everything that reminded them of the country's Hungarian past. Hundreds of thousands of Hungarians were forced to leave their homeland, and the forcible assimilation of the remaining Hungarians was begun.
November 1918
The revolutionary government of Hungary created Ruszka Krajna autonomous region to give autonomy to the Rusyn minority of Subcarpathia.

Trianon Dictate
Little more...
4 June 1920
Hungary was forced to sign the Treaty of Trianon, although the country was not invited to the peace talks. Hungary lost two thirds of its territory that had belonged to it for more than 1000 years. One-third of the Hungarian population came under foreign rule. On the basis of the national principle, countries with a more mixed and less ethnically balanced composition than the former Hungary were created, such as Czechoslovakia and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia). For example, while 48% of the population of the territory ceded to Czechoslovakia was Slovak and 30% Hungarian, 54% of the population of the former Hungary was Hungarian and 10.6% Slovak. And in the territory that is now part of Serbia, the Hungarians outnumbered the Serbs. The part of the territory allocated to Romania from Hungary was larger than the remaining territory of Hungary, despite the fact that there were 10 million Hungarians and less than 3 million Romanians in the former Hungary. While Hungary used to have the most liberal nationality policy in Europe, the successor states had no respect at all for the national and cultural rights of the indigenous Hungarians and engaged in forced assimilation. The Trianon Dictate destroyed the organic economic unity of the region. Before the First World War, Hungary had a dynamic economy, more advanced than Spain's. After 1920, the successor states formed the so-called "Little Entente", putting Hungary under an economic blockade and sabotaging it on the international stage.
June 4, 1920
Subcarpathia was attached to Czechoslovakia without holding a referendum, despite the fact that it had hardly any Slovak inhabitants. The Hungarian and Rusyn inhabited Subcarpathia was given to Czechoslovakia on condition that they had to provide the area autonomy, which they did not fulfill.
September 29, 1938
The Munich Agreement between the great powers obliged Czecholsovakia to start negotiations with Hungary to fulfill its territorial demands, but the Czechoslovaks had absolutely no intention to give Hungary back the areas inhabited by Hungarians.
October 9, 1938
The Czechoslovaks finally granted autonomy to Subcarpathia (which they had been obliged to provide according to the the Trianon Dictate that took the area from Hungary in 1920), so that the Rusyns would not want to return to Hungary. But the Czechoslovak authorities soon arrested Andrej Bródy, the head of the autonomous Rusyn government of Subcarpathia, because he demanded self-determination for his people.
October 26, 1938
Avgusztin Voloshin became the new Prime Minister of the autonomous Subcarpathia. But he demanded independence even more openly. He banned Hungarian and Rusyn newspapers and associations, and set up the Sich Guard, which was recruited from foreign Ukrainian volunteers from Galicia. His goal was the Ukrainization of Subcarpathia.

2 November 1938
Under the First Vienna Award, Hungary regained 11,927 km2 of territory from Czechoslovakia. Its population was 869 thousand people, 86.5% of whom were Hungarian. France and Great Britain did not take part in the decision taken by Germany and Italy, citing disinterest, but acknowledged its validity.
November 2, 1938
According to the First Vienna Award based on the Munich Agreement between the great powers, Hungary recovered the southern part of Subcarpathia, which was inhabited predominantly by Hungarians. The rest of Subcarpathia remained part of Czechoslovakia, although it had insignificant Slovak population. This territory included Nagyszőlős and several other Hungarian settlements, and had a Rusyn majority.
November 20, 1938
Avgusztin Volosin, the the leader of the autonomous Subcarpathia, created a concentration camp for his Hungarian and Rusyn opposition.
January 6, 1939

March 14, 1939
Because of the Ukrainian atrocities against the Hungarian inhabitants, Hungarian troops marched into Subcarpathia. Josef Tiso proclaimed the independence of Slovakia the same day. Voloshin declared the independent Carpathian-Ukrainian Republic in Huszt and pleaded for German patronage.
March 15-18, 1939
The Hungarian offensive took back Subcarpathia from the Czechs and from the Ukrainian guard of Voloshin. The captives of Voloshin's concentration camp were liberated. Voloshin died in a prison in Moscow on July 11, 1945. Voloshin has been treated as a Unkrainian hero since the fall of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Red Army invaded Subcarpathia.
November 3, 1944
Every Hungarian and German inhabitant of Subcarpathia between the age of 18 and 50 was obliged to present themselves to the authorities according to a decree. The disinformation was spread that they were needed for a 3 days work to restore the damages caused by the war (so called 'málenkij robot' meaning little work). In fact, they went to the concentration camp in Solyva, and from there to Siberian labor camps, where most of the died, and those who survived could return home only years later.
June 29, 1945
Subcarpathia was annexed by the Soviet Union and was attached to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. The Rusyns were no longer recognized as a separate ethnic group and were declared Ukrainian. Hundreds of thousands of ethnic Ukrainians were moved to Subcarpathia from over the Carpathians.

It also seceded three more villages south of Pozsony from Hungary to Czechoslovakia.

History

The church was built in 1272. It was remodeled in the Gothic style in the 14th century. The church was taken over by the Calvinists in the 16th century, who drove away the Franciscan monks as well. Perényi Ferenc, the Calvinist landlord of the town, became involved in the Wesselényi conspiracy. He escaped the execution through the intercession of his Catholic mother, but he had to pay 200,000 forints to the treasury as a ransom, and he also had to convert to the Catholic faith and build a Franciscan monastery with a church. The Franciscans were then recalled in 1668 by the Perényi family. The interior of the church was significantly rebuilt in the 18th century. When the Catholics recovered the church in the 19th century, it was already without a roof. It was restored by Bishop Hám János of Szatmár. The church was closed by the Soviets in 1959 and the building was used as a corporate warehouse. During the next thirty years, Catholic believers could only hold their ceremonies in the cemetery chapel. Finally, in 1989, Franciscan monks from Hungary reorganized the parish. After the believers renovated the church, Cardinal Paskai László, Archbishop of Esztergom, consecrated it in 1991.

Franciscan Church and Monastery
History

At the end of the 15th century, the Perényi family founded the Franciscan monastery on a hill south of Ugocsa Castle. The remains of St. John of Capistrano were kept here after the Battle of Mohács in 1526. He is also called 'the Soldier Saint', because in 1456 at age 70 he organized a crusade in Hungary against the invading Ottoman Empire. His army joined the Hungarian military commander Hunyadi János, who succesfully defeated the Turks at the siege of Belgrade. After having converted to Calvinist faith, the locals stormed the monastery and killed the Franciscan monks in 1556. The body of St. John of Capistrano was thrown into a well. The Franciscans were recalled by the Perényi family in 1668 and the noble manor house of Bánffy Gábor was bought for them. The new monastery burned down in 1747. After the fire, it was rebuilt in Baroque style. The Franciscan church was also built at that time, and was rebuilt in 1889. The Soviet invaders drove away the Franciscan monks in 1945. A town museum was opened in the monastery. The church was taken over by the Orthodox Church and then stood empty for a long time. The church was reclaimed by the Catholic Church in 1989 and had to be completely renovated.

History

The chapel was probably erected in the 19th century, certainly for the purpose of a cemetery chapel. As long as the parish church operated in the town, requiems were held in it. In the fall of 1959, when the Soviets closed the parish church, the believers immediately transferred the statues of the church to the small cemetery chapel. It was the only functioning Catholic church in the town for more than three decades. The church is still operating.

Former County Hall, Perényi Zsigmond Hungarian High School
History

The Hungarian high school is located in the former county hall of Ugocsa County. The school was established in 1946. It has been a high school since 1956. In 1972, it was merged with a Ukrainian high school. It regained its independence in 1991, which was demanded by the Hungarian population. The school was named after Perényi Zsigmond in 1991, who was a martyr of the Hungarian War of Independence. On April 14, 1849, he signed the Declaration of Independence as Speaker of the House of Magnates (the upper chamber of the Parliament), and was therefore sentenced to death by hanging after the defeat of the Hungarian War of Independence.

Bust of Perényi Zsigmond
History

The statue stands in front of the former county hall of Ugocsa County, which is today a Hungarian high school named after Perényi Zsigmond. It was unveiled on October 24, 1906. The statue was torn down by the Soviet invaders in 1945. The statue was hidden in the basement of the County Museum of Ugocsa. In 1991, the local organization of the KMKSZ (Subcarpathian Hungarian Cultural Association) restored the statue of Perényi Zsigmond in its original place, in front of the county hall. Perényi Zsigmond became Speaker of the House of Magnates (the upper chamber of the Parliament of Hungary) in October 1848. Perényi Zsigmond also signed Hungary's Declaration of Independence with the leadership of Kossuth Lajos on April 14, 1849. After the Hungarian surrender at Világos due to Russian military intervention, Perényi Zsigmond was put before a military tribunal in Pest, sentenced to death by hanging and executed.

The settlement was established on the border of the hunting ground of \u200b\u200bthe Hungarian kings of the House of \u00c1rp\u00e1d. Its first inhabitants were possibly royal viticulturists, and it got its name from the vineyards (sz\u0151l\u0151s) on the southern slopes of the Black Hill. More than one castle stood on the Black Hill over time. The last one was built by the Per\u00e9nyi family, who acquired Nagysz\u0151l\u0151s in 1399. The castle was later called Ugocsa Castle and it protected the Salt Road along the Tisza River. The Per\u00e9nyi family, as the largest landowners of the region, played a decisive role in the history of the settlement. Ugocsa Castle fell victim to the internal war, that broke out in Hungary due to the election of two kings after the Battle of Moh\u00e1cs. According to the custom of the era, the Per\u00e9nyi family changed sides and religious denominations multiple times. After 1570, the area became a collision zone between the Habsburg-ruled Kingdom of Hungary and the Principality of Transylvania, considered to be the strongest bastion of Hungarian independence, and the town changed hands several times. The Hungarian town stood on the side of independence in both wars of independence, the one led by R\u00e1k\u00f3czi Ferenc II and the one between 1848 and 1849. Baron Per\u00e9nyi Zsigmond was executed in 1849 by the Austrians for signing the Declaration of Independence. The town lost its Hungarian majority due to the tragedies of the 20th century - the annexation to Czechoslovakia in 1920, the deportation of the population by the Soviets in 1944, and the state-organized migration of Ukrainians from over the Carpathians. In addition to its churches, the outstanding attraction of the town is the beautiful mansion of the Per\u00e9nyi family, which unfortunately can only be admired from the outside.","nameorigin":"","history":"#1|@after 895|The Hungarians erected a small castle on the Black Hill in order to defend the area from the Pecheneg raids.
