General information about Skalat

The small town of Skalat is located 30 kilometers southeast of Ternopil.

It was mentioned for the first time in 1512, when it was part of the Terebovlya County of the Rus Voivodeship as part of Poland. At the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, Skalat received Magdeburg rights from the Polish king Sigismund III Vasa.

A regular square castle, built in 1630 by the Galician captain Kshyshtof Vikhrovskyi, has been preserved. After the damage received by the castle during the Liberation War, it was restored by the nobleman Jan Firley, who married Viktoriya Vikhrovska.

The small town of Skalat is located 30 kilometers southeast of Ternopil.

During the Polish-Turkish wars of 1672-1675, the city was burned by Pasha Ibrahim Shyshman's troops. In 1772, Skalat came under Austrian rule. At the end of the 18th century, the new mistress of the castle, Mariya Shynionova from the Vodzitskyi family, reconstructed it into a magnate's palace-residence.

From 1815 to 1869, Skalat belonged to the Poniatovskyi family, becoming a county town during this period. Then he passed to Count Rosenstock. During the next stage of the reconstruction of the castle at the end of the 19th century, the architect Teodor Marian Talovskyi gave it neo-Gothic features.

During the two world wars, the castle was heavily damaged, but still survived to the present day (restoration is underway). The synagogue building has also been preserved. The church, destroyed during the Soviet era, has been restored.

The philosopher Oleksandr Kulchynskyi was born in Skalat, he was visited by Ivan Franko and Les Kurbas.

Невеличке містечко Скалат розташоване в 30 кілометрах на південний схід від Тернополя.

Вперше згадується в 1512 році, коли воно входило до складу Теребовлянського повіту Руського воєводства в складі Польщі. На рубежі XVI-XVII сторічь Скалат отримав від польського короля Сигізмунда III Вази Магдебурзьке право.

Зберігся регулярний квадратний замок, побудований в 1630 році галицьким ротмістром Кшиштофом Віхровським. Після ушкоджень, отриманих замком під час Визвольної війни, його відновив шляхтич Ян Фірлей, який одружився на Вікторії Віхровській.

Невеличке містечко Скалат розташоване в 30 кілометрах на південний схід від Тернополя.

Під час польсько-турецьких воєн 1672-1675 років місто спалили війська паші Ібрагіма Шишмана. В 1772 році Скалат опинився під владою Австрії. Нова господиня замку Марія Шиніонова з роду Водзіцьких в кінці XVIII століття реконструювала його під магнатську палац-резиденцію.

З 1815 року до 1869 року Скалат належав роду Понятовських, ставши в цей період повітовим містом. Далі він перейшов до графа Розенштока. Під час чергового етапу реконструкції замку в кінці XIX столітті архітектор Теодор Маріан Тальовський надав йому неоготичні риси.

В роки двох світових воєн замок отримав сильні пошкодження, але все ж дожив до наших днів (йде реставрація). Також збереглася будівля синагоги. Відновлено знищений за радянських часів костел.

В Скалаті народився філософ Олександр Кульчинський, його відвідували Іван Франко та Лесь Курбас.

Skalat Castle

Castle / fortress , Architecture , Museum / gallery

Skalat Castle is a rare example of a defense complex of the Late Middle Ages and early modern times in Ukraine, which has the correct geometric shapes.

The first mention of the fortification of Skalat dates back to 1503. Probably then it was a wooden fortress with earthen ramparts. The current stone castle in Skalat was founded in 1630 by the Galician swordsman Kshyshtof Vikhrovsky. He built a regular castle, almost square in plan, surrounded by a moat. At its corners are pentagonal four-tiered towers with loopholes in the form of keyholes. The basements of the towers can be reached through tunnels.

Skalat Castle was damaged during the Liberation War led by Bohdan Khmelnytsky and during the Polish-Turkish War of 1672-1675, as a result of which it lost its defensive significance. It was not until the end of the 18th century that it was rebuilt by the new mistress Mariya Shynionova of the Vodzitsky family. She ordered a two-storey palace building to be added to the eastern wall and the entrance gate to be magnificently decorated (not preserved).

At the end of the 19th century, at the expense of Count Morits Rozenshtok (Rostotsky), the architect Teodor Marian Talovsky from Lviv reconstructed the tower and the castle church in the neo-Gothic style. The buildings were badly damaged during the two world wars. In 1960, the ruins were preserved. Only after Skalat Castle became part of the Ternopillya Castles National Reserve, its restoration began.

Now the territory and the preserved buildings of the castle have been cleared, tents have been erected over the towers, a wooden bridge has been thrown over the defensive moat, the central part of the courtyard is paved with cobblestones. In two towers there is an art gallery and a historical exposition, where you can see the firearms of the fortress of the XV-XVII centuries. In the basement there is an exposition of the castle prison. On the defensive walls there are pedestrian detours to see the panorama of the castle and the town. Thematic festivals with knightly battles are held.
