In Transcarpathia, there are the remains of the only Templar Castle in Ukraine - the ruins of a medieval fortress in Serednye, built on the principle of Roman fortifications on the Danube. The ruins preserve a number of architectural features used by the Templars in their buildings, as well as a number of legends associated with this vanished Christian order (for example, about the Holy Grail). Today, it is difficult to see its former grandeur, but it attracts research historians, treasure hunters and travellers alike.

The Serednyany wine cellars are among the oldest in Europe, with a total length of more than 4.5 km. They were carved in 1557 by captured Turks in solid rock - tuff. Today, the cellars are fully owned by the Serednyansky winery, which in its time has repeatedly won prizes at international competitions. The most famous vintage wines of the winery are Troianda Zakarpattya, Perlyna Karpat, Serednyanske, Promysliste and others. Today, you can visit the historic cellars and taste some of the products there.

The monastery in the village of Rakoshyno is one of the centres of Orthodox pilgrimage in Transcarpathia. The date of its foundation can be considered 2001, although the monastery was opened on the basis of a church built in the early 20th century by the Czech martyr Vsevolod (monk Andrew) Kolomatsky in the Old Russian style and in the shape of a cross. During the Soviet era, the church was turned into a museum of atheism, and later abandoned. And now, in a dilapidated state, in 2001, by the decree of Bishop Agapit (Bevtsyk) of Mukachevo and Uzhhorod, the Holy Protection Monastery was founded on the basis of the church.

The feat of the founding monks is surprising, since in the 21st century, in peacetime, at the initial stage of the monastery's development, they lived in truly ascetic conditions - the church was in disrepair, the roof was gaping with numerous dips. Pigeons flew around the church, and instead of icons, there were portraits of party leaders on the walls. The plaster on the walls had almost completely crumbled, and the paintings, unfortunately, were almost lost. Around the church there were 12 acres of land without residential buildings, so there was nowhere to live, and the brethren settled in a donated unheated "Finnish house" where water froze in a glass in winter. By reviving the ruins, the monastery's brethren were reviving history, preserving the spirit of Orthodoxy that the foundation and walls of the monument church breathed.

Despite all the difficulties, the monastery was built, and, moreover, began to flourish. Many people come to the shrine for prayers and guidance, some to visit the miraculous Iveron Icon of the Mother of God, which helps with infertility.

The Rakoshyno Monastery is now very well known in Ukraine and in the gastronomic community. Thanks to a large subsidiary farm, the monks produce 14 types of cheese from the milk of goats, sheep and cows using Italian technology: ricotta, mozzarella, scamorza, feta, muccine and others. Here you can taste them and, if you wish, buy them at a very reasonable price. They also offer other products of the monastery, such as honey and wine.
