"Nevytsky Castle is a very interesting monument of European castle architecture as an authentic example of fortification art of the Gothic era and the transition to Renaissance. Today the castle is in disrepair, but it does not detract from its value," – a historian and archaeologist Oleksandr Dzembas said.
Read it below.
"In 1644, the castle survived the last attack and has not been used since. The architectural ensemble has not changed much since then. There have been several attempts to conserve the castle, in order to preserve its architectural integrity, but they did not give the desired result.
Researchers began to study the castle over 25 years ago. During the last archaeological expedition to the Nevytsky castle, it was found out that it already existed in the 13th century and was built on the site of an ancient settlement that existed here in the 7th century BC. Then they learned that even before that culture, people of the Bronze Age had lived here.
The castle today is in the state of emergency, but not critical. This situation must be corrected. The roof of the central tower of the castle is in the most threatening condition. Its falling may damage other buildings of the ensemble. However, with professional and systematic approach, this situation can be remedied.
Since Ukraine is a member of the UNESCO, we must address these issues. There is no other way."
Recall that in 2013 there were attempts to change the situation, in particular Uzhgorod.in has repeatedly raised this issue.
This is how the Transcarpathian sight looks now.
