In the middle of the 19th century, he developed a large wine and alcohol production in the village. In 1870 he received the title of count. Having learned to play the violin from his friend, the Hungarian musician Ezhen Remni, Ploteni later became the first violinist of the Hungarian National Opera. At the end of the 19th century, he returned to his Velyki Lazy estate, where a small palace and park complex was built for him.

The Roman Catholic Church of Saint Avhustyn in Perechyn was built at the beginning of the 20th century with the assistance of a local forestry plant, as many foreign specialists from Catholic countries worked at the enterprise.

The initiator was the Italian Hayotto Franchesko, who purchased a plot of land and allocated part of the funds for construction.

The church was consecrated on the day of Saint Avhustyn, receiving its name in his honor.

The temple in the eclectic style is small, but tall (34 meters) and very slender, directed to the sky.

The Church of Saint Archangel Michael in the Transcarpathian village of Vyshka is a monument of wooden architecture of national importance.

It has the features of a classic temple of the Boyko school of architecture: three log cabins made of spruce beams on a stone foundation, placed in a row along a longitudinal line from west to east, covered with tent vaults, each topped with a crown.

Initially, the central log house was higher than the others, but in the second half of the 18th century, the tented top above the babinsek was replaced by a frame belfry, which became higher.

Like many wooden churches in Transcarpathia, Michael's Church was not spared the fate of being buried alive in a metal sarcophagus, which hid the original patterns of wall and roof cladding with shingles.

The Greek Catholic Monastery of Saint Nicholas of the Basilian Fathers is located in Malyi Bereznyi on the slope of Mount Dilok above the valley of the Uzh River.

The monastery was founded in the 15th century, known since 1435 - this is evidenced by the monastery seal with the year engraved on it. Since 2009, the settlement of the Basilian Province of Saint Nicholas in Transcarpathia has been located here.

With the beginning of the Soviet occupation of Transcarpathia, the monastery was liquidated (1947), some of the monks were imprisoned. In 1948, the monastery premises were transferred to Uzhgorod University, the church was turned into a sports hall. In 1958, a boarding school for children with developmental disabilities was opened in the monastery, a warehouse was placed in the temple, and the temple paintings were destroyed. In 1973, a new boarding school building was built next to the monastery buildings.

The restoration of the Saint Nicholas Monastery of the Basilian Fathers began in 1989. The monastery complex was completely restored only in 1997. During 1997-2003, the carver and artist Yosyf Volosyansky created a new iconostasis for the monastery church. The artist Mykhaylo Priymych repainted the temple, since the unique paintings by Yosyf Bokshay were irretrievably lost.

Currently, the Basilian Monastery in Malyi Bereznyi is one of the largest monastic settlements of the Mukachevo Greek Catholic Diocese in Transcarpathia. At the same time, it is a settlement of the Province of Saint Nicholas, which unites all Basilian monasteries of the region.

The Orthodox Saint Nicholas Church is located on an elevation in the center of the city.

The first wooden Orthodox church of Saint Nicholas in Perechyn is mentioned in 1751. It was located on the territory of the cemetery a little higher than the current stone temple, which was built in 1763-1769. Its high bell tower, added in 1810, is clearly visible on the hill of Hurka, a little outside the city center.

The wooden church of Saint Nicholas is located on the Kurtanichev hill in the village of Chornoholova, which is on the left bank of the Lyutyanka river at the confluence of the Solony stream. This is one of the best examples of Transcarpathian folk architecture.

The temple was built in the 17th century in Boyko style. In 1794, it was reconstructed in the Baroque style. According to the inscription on the crossbar, the rebuilding was carried out by master Khimich from the village of Luchky (now on the territory of Slovakia).

The architectural dominant of the Church of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker was a high tower with a rich baroque finish. A gallery on carved columns gives the structure sophistication. At the same time, the original tent ceilings, characteristic of Boyko churches, as well as the iconostasis of the 18th century have been preserved inside. The small single-tier bell tower is emphatically functional.

In 1913-1924, Father Yuliy Bachynskyi was the parish priest of the Saint Nicholas Church in Chornoholova.

The Greek-Catholic Church of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker rises above the center of Perechyn with two slender towers.

The temple was founded in the 18th century. During Soviet times, the Saint Nicholas Church was closed, the building was neglected and falling into disrepair. Reconstruction was completed in 2002. The relics of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker are kept here.

The Roman Catholic Church of Saint Yuriу (George) was built in the 17th century by the ruler of Uzhhorod Yuriy Druhet, who converted to Catholicism, on the site of the Lutheran church that he destroyed.

The construction was continued by his heir Miklosh Bercheni. In the 18th century, the temple was rebuilt in the neo-baroque style, the famous master Yanosh Lukach worked on the design. A clock has been installed on the bell tower, which has been running for more than 150 years.

In the interior, the unusual neo-baroque altar of 1895 by master Lukash Yozhef Krakker deserves special attention.

Transcarpathian Regional Art Museum named after Yosyp Bokshay is located in the former county building in Uzhhorod.

The house is connected with the events of the Hungarian national liberation struggle and the activities of the Ukrainian society "Prosvita".
