Shenborn Castle — located in the West Transcarpathia region in Ukraine. This castle is famous for an architectural plan of the structure of the building, which is astronomically aligned. The Shenborn Castle has 365 windows (symbolize 365 days of the year), the 52 rooms (symbolize the number of weeks per year) and 12 (symbolize the number of months in the astronomical year). Also there is an interesting fact about the lake near the castle that had a little artificial original form. Its contours and shape is a repetition of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The park around the mansion is made up of unique plant species that are selected from many parts of Europe. The garden of Shenborn Castlen, which was built in an English style, is an additional relaxation place where visitors can enjoy the Sanitarium of Karpaty.

Uzhhorod Castle stands on a 30-meter-high hill; in plan view, it is an irregular quadrangle with protruding bastions in the corners, once equipped with cannons. Behind the bastions, there’s a castle court with a 6-hectare park. The park is decorated with ancient sculptures, the most interesting of them representing Heracles fighting the Lernean Hydra, and a bronze sculpture of a turul (a Hungarian name for a steppe falcon).
