General information about Kryvche

The village of Kryvche is located on the steep banks of the Tsyhanka River, 15 kilometers south of Borshchiv.

The name is probably related to the difficult terrain, due to which the road that passes here has many steep turns. The names of Oplakanna and Krasnohora are also mentioned.

The settlement has been known since 1565 as the property of the landowner Zakrevskyi. In 1639-50, the Kontsky magnates built a castle here, fragments of which have survived to this day. In 1648 it was captured by the Cossacks, and in 1672 it was occupied by the troops of the Turkish Sultan Mohammed IV.

Until the 18th century, Kryvche Castle was an important stronghold in Poland's military operations against Turkey, then it served as a magnate's residence until it became the property of Lazar Zeidman, who ordered most of it to be dismantled for building materials.

Next to the two preserved towers is the castle church (XVII century), and on the opposite side of the track - the Church of the Intercession (1856).

On the southwestern outskirts of Kryvche is the "Kryshtaleva" cave, which is best suited for visiting in Podillya. A washed-out dirt road leads to the cave.

Село Кривче на крутих берегах річки Циганка розташоване в 15 кілометрах на південь від Борщева.

Назва, ймовірно, пов'язана зі складним рельєфом, через що дорога, яка тут проходить, має безліч крутих поворотів. Також згадуються назви Оплаканна та Красногора.

Поселення відоме з 1565 року як власність землевласника Закревського. В 1639-50 роках магнати Концкі спорудили тут замок, фрагменти якого дійшли до наших днів. В 1648 році його захопили козаки, а в 1672 році він був зайнятий військами турецького султана Магомета IV.

Поруч з двома збереженими баштами знаходиться замковий костел (XVII століття), а з протилежного боку від траси - Покровська церква (1856 рік).

На південно-західній околиці Кривче розташована печера "Кришталева", найкраще пристосована для відвідування на Поділлі. До печери веде розмита грунтова дорога.

Crystal Cave

Natural object

"Crystal cave" ("Kryvchanska") is the most famous and most suitable for tourists to visit the Podillya cave.

The entrance is located in the spurs of the mountain on the southwestern outskirts of the village of Kryvche. This is one of the largest gypsum caves in Europe - the length of its investigated part is almost 23 kilometers.

The Kryvchanska Cave was first mentioned in 1721 and was rediscovered in 1908. It is a branched gypsum system of passages washed by underground waters 20 million years ago.

The excursion route through the cleaned and illuminated part of the "Crystal Cave" is about 2.5 kilometers, of which 500 meters is the entrance corridor. The walls of the cave galleries are covered with white or various colored gypsum crystals, hence the name. Many crystals resemble silhouettes of animals: buffalo, lizard, elephant, eagle, etc.

Constant temperature +11 degrees. Open to the public all year round, the tour is possible only with a guide.

Kontsky castle

Castle / fortress

Two towers and a fragment of the defensive wall remained from the Kryvche Castle, built in 1639-1650 by the Kontsky Polish nobles in the village of Kryvche.

The castle had an almost regular rectangular shape with four corner towers and one entrance tower. During the first century of its existence, it was constantly at the epicenter of the Polish-Turkish wars, passing from hand to hand. During the Liberation War, he was captured by the Cossacks. In 1672, the Turkish Sultan Mahomet IV stopped here when he was returning from Buchach after signing the Peace of Buchach.

Only in the 18th century, the Kryvche Castle lost its strategic importance and was transformed into the residence of the Polish magnates of the Holiyovsky. In the 19th century, the entrepreneur Lazar Zeydman bought the ruins, ordering most of them to be dismantled for building materials for a distillery.

An attempt at restoration was made in 1920 by the Podillya Tourism and Local History Society.

Currently, the Kontsky Castle is part of the "Castles of Ternopil region" reserve. Two towers are preserved, access is free.
