Schönborn Palace (Beregvar)
transcarpathian hunting lodge of the Schönborn family in Ukraine
The Beregvar Hunting Lodge (Ukrainian: Палац графів Шенборнів or German: Schloss Beregvár or German: Jagdchloss Beregvár) is a palace in a neo-romantic style. It is located in Karpaty, which is part of Chynadiiovo in the Mukachevo Raion, Zakarpattia Oblast, Ukraine.
Built between 1890 and 1895 by Erwein-Friedrich von Schönborn-Buchheim, the palace served as a hunting estate and a seasonal residence for the Schönborn family, a prominent Austro-Hungarian aristocratic dynasty. Surrounded by a picturesque dendrological park featuring rare tree species, a decorative lake, and sculptural compositions, the hunting lodge is renowned for its architectural elegance, blending Romanesque and Gothic motifs with French Renaissance influences. Since 1946, the building has housed the "Karpaty" sanatorium, specializing in cardiovascular and neurological treatments.
History
Francis II Rákóczi
Between 1703 and 1711, there was an uprising aiming to topple the rule of the Habsburgs over Hungary. The war was led by prince Francis II Rákóczi (Hungarian: II. Rákóczi Ferenc) (1676–1735), the son of an old noble family and one of the richest landlords in the Kingdom of Hungary. Rákóczi's War of Independence was unsuccessful, ending with the Treaty of Szatmár. Although assured clemency, prince Francis II did not accept nor recognized the peace conditions, his estates and properties in Hungary were confiscated. As a result, Mukacheve including Palanok Castle, Szentmiklós (today named Chynadiyovo), and 200 villages were transferred to the royal treasury.
