Palanok Castle in Mukachevo
A great aerial view from Wikimapia of Palanok gives an idea about the three-castles-in-one layout that it has. It is Mukachevo hosts a wonderful gem of a castle – Palanok. It stands on an antient dead vulcano in the middle of the plains, in Transcarpathia.
Inside the castle there is a local ethnographic museum and a church. Being so unreachable, it is one of the best preserved castles. (Another particular good castle is Olesk, but in total you can visit around 40 castles in western Ukraine).
