Attractions of Kvasovo

The Kvasovo castle "Minta" was founded in the 12th century on the trade route from Maramorosh to Transdanubia. He controlled the overland salt route at the exit from the Borzhava Valley.

The ruins of the castle are located on a 15-meter hill in the center of the village of Kvasovo. The Romanesque-type castle was triangular in plan, had a round tower-donjon with a diameter of 12 meters. In the eastern corner of the castle yard there was a siege well cut in the rock.

For the first time in documents, the "Minta" castle is mentioned in 1390 as the property of the feudal lord Yanosh Nodmihali. In the 16th century, it belonged to Pavlo Motuznay, who became famous for robbery and robberies. As a punishment for this, in 1564, the Austrian troops led by Lazar Shevendy took the castle by storm and destroyed it, but the owner managed to escape, and later partially rebuilt the fortress.

Representatives of the Motuznay family owned the Kvasiv castle until 1623, after which it changed hands several times, then was abandoned and almost completely dismantled for building materials by local residents. Only barely visible ruins have survived.
