Description of the area

In the 19th century the settlement received the status of a town. In those days, it already had its own coat of arms: in a silver shield, on a wavy foot, divided three times by blue and silver, a wooden boat is depicted, which is steered by a peasant in red clothes; the mast of the boat is crowned with the coat of arms of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The coat of arms reminds of the local wharf for boats that transported salt on the Tisza River.

There is an international road crossing near Vylok. In the center of the village, next to the department store, the stone church of St. Helena, built in 1788, has been preserved. In the 19th century, a four-story tower was added to the cathedral above the main facade. Tempera paintings of the beginning of the 20th century have been preserved in the temple.

One of the oldest buildings in Transcarpathia is located in the center of Vylok – the Salt House. As a warehouse for salt, its foundation was built back in 1417. Over time, it underwent reconstruction. Until recently, a school was located in the building, now the building is closed.
