Vinohradischyna – the region of wine and winemaking

Vynogradiv region has long been famous for its vineyards, which have been known since the 3rd century. Unique types of wild grapes still grow on Black Mountain in the town of Vynohradiv. A large number of grape varieties are grown in the Vynogradivsk region – Isabella, Lydia pink, Wilder, Noah, Delaware pink, Othello, Koberu, Teleki, Riparia (Portalis), Aurora, Sasorosh and many others. It is noteworthy that the medieval coat of arms of the Ugochan County (now Vynohradivshchyna) is decorated with a bunch of grapes, a fish, an oak twig and the legendary black crab from the Bator River.

The vineyards on Black Mountain were cared for by the town elder himself, who appointed watchmen during the ripening period. The Starost also announced the beginning and end of the grape harvest (from the end of September to the end of October). The local vineyards suffered catastrophic damage from the phylloxera epidemic at the end of the 18th century, after which they had to be restored practically all over again.

Until the end of the 19th century, the traditional festive procession from the city to the mountain was preserved on the day when the grape harvest began. It was headed by the oldest of the guards, who bore the coat of arms of Sevlyush (now Vynogradov). The procession was accompanied by Roma musicians, and the procession ended with grape pickers. Up until the time of the Soviet dictatorship, a luxurious ball was arranged on the occasion of the completion of the grape harvest.

Wine-making traditions live on in Vynohradov even today. The length of the underground wine cellars of the Vyrodivsk winery alone reaches 350 meters. They were carved into a shape that resembles a horseshoe. The temperature here is kept at +11…+14ΒΊΠ‘. The wine is stored in huge oak vats, which can simultaneously hold up to 700,000 liters of wine! Ancient tubs are decorated with unparalleled relief carvings, which turn them into real masterpieces. Vynohradiv is the venue for the traditional festival of winegrowers, in which not only Transcarpathian winemakers, but also ministers of Bacchus from all over Europe take part.

History of Vynogradiv

Vynohradiv, which until 1946 was called Sevlyush, is one of the oldest cities in Transcarpathia. Since the end of the 1st millennium AD, a Slavic settlement has appeared here. In the 12th and 13th centuries, Vynohradiv was the property of the Hungarian king and its inhabitants were dominated by Flemish and Saxon colonists. In the 12th century, the Hungarian king Geiza II introduced the administrative-territorial division of the kingdom into counties, and Sevlyush (Vynohradiv) became the central place of the smallest Ugochan County in the kingdom. In 1262, the Hungarian king IstvΓ‘n V granted SevljuΕ‘ the status of a crown city, which was the first such case in Transcarpathia. The inhabitants of the city enjoyed the right to their own court, could elect a headman and a priest, had the right to build mills, produce and sell wine, cross the Tisza, and engage in hunting and fishing. In addition, noble barons were forbidden to settle on the territory of the city.

Vynohradiv has repeatedly changed its owners throughout its history. In the end, on August 29, 1399, King Zygmond presented the city to Peter Perena for his heroism in the war with the Turks in the Battle of Nikopol in 1396. Therefore, for four centuries the Vynohradys, and later the entire Ugochan county, became the property of the Pereni baron family. In 1427, the king allowed fairs to be held in Selyusha, which brought enormous income to the barons of Pereni and the townspeople.

Perena sheep should be thanked for the creation of most of the historical monuments in the city of Vynohradyv.

From the end of the 19th century, Vynohradiv actually became a local educational and cultural center. In those days, the city could be proud of the presence of two state primary schools and three church ones. In 1881, a city school was opened, and later an industrial one.

The great Hungarian composer BΓ©la BartΓ³k (1881-1945), who lived here in 1889-1892, had his first concert in SevlΓΊΕ‘a. A children’s art school was named in BartΓ³k’s honor, and the city established a bust of the composer and a museum room.

Vynohradiv is also known for the fact that the outstanding Hungarian artist Imre Reves (1859-1945) lived here and was buried here. It was under Reves that the luminaries of Transcarpathian fine art, Josyp Bokshai and Adalbert Erdely, studied.

According to the Treaty of Saint-Germain in 1919, Vynohrady, like all Transcarpathia, was included in Czechoslovakia.

In the fall of 1938, the occupying troops of Hortist Hungary entered Sevlyush. And at the end of the Second World War, on October 24, 1944, soldiers of the 4th Ukrainian Front entered the city, bringing with them the new Soviet power.

In 1946, Sevlyush was renamed Vynohrady. And the city itself became the district center.

During Soviet times, the city underwent significant development. In the 1980s, there were 20 enterprises, a polytechnic, a medical and cooperative school in Vynohradov.

Briefly about Vynohradiv in our time

Nowadays, Vynohradiv has become a real tourist center. Today, more than 25,000 people live in it. Ukrainians make up more than 82% of the city’s population, followed by Hungarians, who make up more than 13%. The area of the city is 32 km2. It is located at an altitude of 117 meters above sea level. It was spread out on the right bank of the Tysa River at the foot of Black Mountain, 570 meters high. This peak was once an active volcano, as evidenced by its shape and large stones scattered around (volcanic bombs). Thanks to its volcanic past, Vynohradov has healing springs of mineral water, which tourists can use to improve their health in the Teplitsia sanatorium. The climate in Vynohradov is temperate maritime with short winters and warm summers. Thanks to this climate, the city has long been a center of winemaking and horticulture.

Sightseeing tour of Vynogradov

Vinogradov’s journey should be started from its center, where the 15th-16th century Voznesensky Church is located in the square near Myru and Shevchenko streets. In the 16th century, the church became a bone of contention between Protestants and Catholics. The shrine changed hands and was repeatedly destroyed until it was finally taken over by the Catholics in 1690. Later, the temple was again destroyed, this time by fire, when in August 1717, Vynohradiv was captured for two days by the Crimean Tatars. Subsequently, in 1748, with the financial help of Bishop Eger Barkotsi, the church was rebuilt and handed over to the Catholic community of the city. A bas-relief of the coat of arms of this bishop has been preserved on the facade of the church. The church underwent another reconstruction in 1889. The architecture of the church is characterized by elements of the Romanesque and Gothic styles, with the predominance of the latter.

On the square, in front of the central entrance to the church, there is a fountain composition. A sculpture of a girl pressing grapes is located in a bowl from which water pours out. In the park behind the church there is a composition by the sculptor Mykhailo Kolodko – a monument to the winemaker.

If you cross the road, at the intersection of Myru and Partizanska streets you will see a beautiful building of the monastery complex of 1516. On the opposite side of the monastery, on the wall of the building, there is a memorial plaque dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust. The synagogue building is located a few meters from the intersection. Its large size speaks of the influence of the city’s Jewish community before the Second World War.

Next, you should walk along the already mentioned square to the monument to Soviet soldiers. On the left is the former building of the district administration. Opposite it is the symbol of the Vynohrad region – a bronze figure of a guardian angel with the coat of arms of the Ugochanskyi Committee in his hands. The coat of arms of the county has the form of a Spanish-shaped shield, with a bunch of grapes and a fish on top, and an oak branch with an acorn and a crayfish below. In the center of the coat of arms is a lion, the image of which is the family coat of arms of the Pereni dynasty. If you continue to move in the same direction, you will see the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, built in 1815.

After five hundred meters on the right side, you can admire the palace-residence of the Pereni barons. The building was built at the end of the 16th century. The one-story building was built in the Renaissance style. It was a convenient place for managing large land holdings, holding evenings and sumptuous receptions called here, and in case of danger there was an opportunity to go to the nearby impregnable Kankov Castle. In the 17th century, the Pereni Palace was rebuilt in the Baroque style. The area of the palace has significantly increased due to the completion of the second floor. There is a legend that on August 16, 1849, after the defeat of the Hungarian revolution, Baron Zygmond Pereni was arrested and before leaving the palace he ordered the servants not to close the gate until his return. And although he was not destined to get here, his order is being carried out to this day. The baron himself was executed for treason against the king, because it was on his initiative that on April 14, 1849, the Hungarian National Assembly removed representatives of the Habsburg dynasty from power over Hungary.

Nowadays, the palace has been carefully restored. Funds for the restoration work were provided by a descendant of the Pereni family.

Acquaintance with Vynogradov should be completed by visiting the ruins of Kankov Castle. For this purpose, you should turn left at the intersection, and after walking about a hundred meters, turn right, exiting to Kotsyubynskoho street, which you can use to reach the remains of the Vynogradov fortress. From the fortress, which hangs over the city, you can admire a magical view of the Tisza river valley. You can read more about this castle in the article “Ruins of the Vinograd castle of Kankov”.

In general, one hour is enough for a sightseeing tour of Vynogradov, but the impressions from it will last a lifetime.
