Vinné / Vinna lies in the vicinity of Michalovce. In the 1850s it was a market town with 1000 Slovak and "Ruthenian" (i.e., Transcarpathian Ukrainian) inhabitants. The ruins of the Árpád-age Vinné (or Tarna) castle stand on a 325 m high hill above the village. Count János Waldstein owned a mansion in the village. - Bibliography: Fényes Elek, Mednyánszky 1829, Mednyánszky 1983
