The border town of Berehove on the Virke Canal, which connects the Borzhava and Latoritsa rivers, is considered the "most Hungarian" in Ukraine.

In the era of the Roman Empire, there was probably a border settlement of Romans here, and in the 11th century, the Hungarian feudal lord Lampert strengthened his position, and King Geiza II moved the Saxons (Saxons) here. Old names: Lamperthaza, Berehsas.
In the 17th century, the city was owned by the Transylvanian prince Gabor Bethlen (the "Count's Court" palace has been preserved, in which a historical museum has been opened). Bethlen played a major role in the Thirty Years' War against the Habsburgs, for a time he was king of Hungary. Since 1728, the city passed into the ownership of the Shenborn counts, who remained the owners of the region until the beginning of the 20th century.
The city has long been a center of winemaking, many wine cellars have been preserved, some of which are being used again for their intended purpose (the wine festival is held on March 15). Berehove is also famous for the springs of thermal mineral water, on the basis of which an outdoor swimming pool operates.
Many architectural monuments have been preserved, although many of them are in poor condition. The majority of the population is Hungarians: there are many monuments to Hungarian figures of history and culture, the Hungarian language prevails on the streets. Central European time is considered local time.
Thanks to its rich history, special atmosphere, as well as a wide selection of hotels, motels and restaurants, Berehove is developing as a tourist center and is a convenient transshipment base for trips to Hungary.
Day of the city of Berehove is celebrated on the penultimate weekend of May.
Прикордонне місто Берегове на каналі Вірке, що з'єднує річки Боржаву та Латорицю, вважається "найугорським" в Україні.
За легендою, в далекій давнині якийсь пастух Сас на місці нинішнього Воздвиженського костелу в ямі, яку розрили копитами бики, що билися, знайшов скарб і побудував на цьому місці храм, а навколо нього місто.
В епоху Римської імперії тут, ймовірно, існувало прикордонне поселення римлян, а в XI стролітті укріпився угорський феодал Ламперт, а король Гейза ІІ переселив сюди саксонців (сасів). Старі назви: Лампертхаза, Берегсас.
У XVII столітті містом володів трансільванський князь Габор Бетлен (зберігся палац "Графський двір", в якому відкрито історичний музей). Бетлен відіграв велику роль у Тридцятирічній війні проти Габсбургів, де ...

Бетлен відіграв велику роль у Тридцятирічній війні проти Габсбургів, деякий час був королем Угорщини. З 1728 року місто перейшло у власність графів Шенборнів, які залишалися господарями регіону до початку XX століття.
Місто здавна було центром виноробства, збереглося безліч винних підвалів, частина з яких знову використовується за призначенням (фестиваль вина проходить 15 березня). Також Берегове славиться джерелами термальних мінеральних вод, на базі яких працює відкритий басейн.
Збереглося безліч пам'яток архітектури, хоча багато хто з них в поганому стані. Більшість населення складають угорці: є безліч пам'ятників угорським діячам історії та культури, на вулицях переважає угорська мова. Місцевим часом вважається середньоєвропейський.
Завдяки багатій історії, особливій атмосфері, а також широкому вибору готелів, мотелів і ресторанів Берегове розвивається як туристичний центр, є зручною перевалочною базою при поїздках в Угорщину.
День міста Берегове відзначається в передостанні вихідні травня.
Palace of Komitat Court

The pompous administrative building of the Komitat (county seat) Court in Berehove dominates the pedestrian square of Koshuta, which is built up with low-rise buildings.
It was built at the beginning of the 20th century according to the project of the architect Ferents Yablonskyi.
In Soviet times, the premises were occupied by a factory of precision mechanics.

Tasting Hall "Old Wine Cellar"
Winery / brewery
The old wine cellar in Berehove, over 300 years old, is being used for its intended purpose again thanks to a family of enthusiasts for the revival of Berehove winemaking: Oleh and Tetyana Havrilchenko.
According to legend, the wine cellar was carved out of the rock by hand by captured Turks. The restored cellar is one of the few preserved in Berehove from the 17th century.
According to traditional technologies, vintage wines are produced here from local grape varieties of the Berehove grape region. The most difficult to produce are Bianca and Traminer, but Riesling, Merlot and Zweilgate have an equally interesting taste. Muller-Thurgau wine is considered the pearl of the Old Wine Cellar collection.

Palace / manor , Architecture , Museum / gallery
The fortified residence of the Transylvanian prince Habor Betlen (Betleni) was built in 1629 on the site of the monastery of the Dominican order, which existed here in 1327-1556.

The house got its current appearance after the reconstruction in 1857, which was carried out by Count Schonborn, who received the estate as a gift from the Austrian emperor. The oldest part of the building is the basement with a Gothic portico, left over from the time of the monastery.
Currently, the premises are occupied by the Historical and Ethnographic Museum "Berehivshchyna", which exhibits items from the Roman period, relics from the time of Ferents Rakotsi, exhibits from the First World War, and an ethnographic collection.
It is planned to create a museum of viticulture and winemaking in the cellars.
