It became famous during the heroic defense in 1675, when the commandant's wife Zofiya Khshanovska managed to raise the fighting spirit of the city defenders who were preparing to surrender, and the castle withstood the Turkish siege (in the 18th century, grateful residents erected a monument to Khshanovska, which was later lost and restored in 2012 year).
The last Tatar siege in 1687 turned out to be fatal - the Terebovlia castle was burned and was not rebuilt after that. In the 1930s, the ruins were preserved, a park was laid out on the defensive ramparts (commemorative plaques with the names of patrons were mounted in the castle wall).
