The city of Vynohradiv. The first mention of it dates back to 1262.
This Transcarpathian town is located on the banks of the Tisza River, at the foot of the Black Mountain. The town was founded in the 10th – 11th centuries by the Hungarians, who first built the border fortification of Kankiv here. After some time, the settlement of Sevlyush (translated from Hungarian as “grape”) appeared next to the fortification. The first mention of it dates back to 1262, when the town received the “Sevlyush Right” from King Stephen, that is, the privileges of a royal town. In 1399, King Charles Robert gave the town of Sevlyush and its surroundings to the feudal lord Peter Perenyi for his merits in battle. He became the founder of one of the largest families of Transcarpathia. This dynasty ruled here for 4 centuries, and this is best evidenced by all the outstanding buildings of the town, the ruins of the Kankiv Castle, the churches of the Franciscan and Bernardine monasteries and, of course, the Palace of the Barons Perenyi.
The city of Sevlyush, like all other cities in the region, was not spared by the First World War, which left behind suffering, famine and decline. However, in 1919, according to the Saint-Germain Peace Conference, Subcarpathian Rus was annexed to Czechoslovakia. After that, for the next 20 years, the city and the region developed peacefully, and the intelligentsia even revived. With the advent of Soviet power in 1945, Subcarpathian Rus was included in the Ukrainian SSR and its name was changed to Transcarpathian Ukraine, and in 1946 - to the Transcarpathian region of the Ukrainian SSR. Accordingly, several settlements in the region were renamed. Thus, since 1946, the city of Sevlyush has been called Vinohrady.
Vinohrady is home to a large number of historical and religious monuments of architecture, thanks to the legendary past of the city.
