Prince Gábor Bethlen’s Palace or Count’s Court is the oldest secular building in Beregovo, surprising not so much by its appearance as by its history. It was built at the behest and belonged to the Transylvanian Prince Betlen, who was the King of Hungary in 1620-1621. Today, a visit to the palace is also interesting because it houses the Beregovschina Historical and Ethnographic Museum. Combining the richest history and the most interesting museum, the Count’s Court is one of the most attractive attractions for the guests of Beregovo.
In the place where the palace of H. Betlen stands, from 1327 to 1556 there was a monastery of the most cruel monastic order, to which the Inquisition was transferred in the Middle Ages — Dominican. The monastery was destroyed by the reformers, not a century later, and in its place in 1629 a new, brighter building was erected — the residence of Betlen, as evidenced by the inscription on the facade «Betlen, 1629».
Historians speak of this attraction of Transcarpathia as the only building in Beregovo belonging to the defensive castle style. 
An unknown architect, who took the Baroque style as a basis, erected a complex consisting of a residential building and two outbuildings — a stable and a carriage house with a granary. Today all the buildings on the territory of the Count’s Court are located relative to each other as it was at the beginning of the XVII century, forming a semi-enclosed courtyard in the form of a rectangle.
Today, looking at the Grafs’ Court it is difficult to call it a castle-type structure, but until the 70s of the last century, when the buttresses on the corners of the building were removed, its protective function was more obvious. The squat one-storeyed palace was once more imposing and massive, and the removal of buttresses led not only to the final loss of defense and castle features, but also to an increase in the load on the walls, which caused them to collapse. Practically the only decorative detail of the palace facade is the portico with six columns in the Renaissance style, which was built already under Count Schönborn during the reconstruction in 1857. Of greatest interest are the Gothic-style cellars with high porticoes, which have been preserved since the monastery. In them the spirit of the Middle Ages, its authentic atmosphere and gloominess can be felt most of all. In 2011, a winemaking museum was opened there.
Since 2002, the Beregovshchina Museum has been working in the palace of the Count’s Court. Its collection includes more than 1100 exhibits placed in four halls of the museum. In chronological sequence, the exposition familiarizes the guests of the museum with the history of Beregovschina, starting with its ancient history, continuing with everyday objects of the inhabitants of the region and winemaking, and ending with an exhibition of paintings by local sculptor and artist J. Garani. There are many rare exhibits in the museum’s collection: items from the Roman period, relics from the times of F. Rakoci and the First World War.
A fascinating tour of the museum accompanied by its director I. Shepa, who is always happy to tell in interesting details about the history of the amazing city — a real attraction of Ukraine, will be long remembered by all the guests of Beregovo. It is a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the history of the region, walking through the halls and corridors of the ancient building, which belonged to one of the Hungarian kings.
