Khust Castle

Khust Castle was built on a mountain of volcanic origin. If it existed in 11th–12th centuries, the fort belonged to the Principality of Galicia–Volhynia in 1281–1321. A small fort in mid-14th century, the Khust Castle was significantly rebuilt and expanded in the 15th century. Hungarian poet Ferenc Kölcsey wrote his famous epigram (Huszt) about the ruins of the castle in 1831. ==Today==

Only ruins remain. It is possible to walk to the castle from Khust via an uphill trail that starts near the park on the south edge of the city. The trail begins with flat cobbles and transitions to dirt near the top. It is a 25-minute walk from the center of Khust to the top of the hill. The castle hill offers views of Khust and the surrounding area. ==References==
