Budaniv Castle
Castle / fortress
Budaniv Castle was built at the beginning of the 17th century by Yan Khodorovsky on the site of a wooden castle burned by the Tatars, built at the end of the 16th century by Voivode Yakub Budzanovsky, whose name the village still bears.
The new stone castle on top of the hill was quadrangular in plan, with four round corner towers around the perimeter. During its existence, the castle was captured and destroyed several times by Bohdan Khmelnytskyi's troops, as well as by Turkish troops. It was restored every time, and in the middle of the 18th century, the new owners of Potocki Castle rebuilt the western part of the fortifications into a church.
To this day, in addition to the church, two round towers and part of the castle walls have been preserved. A women's psychiatric hospital has been located on the territory of the castle since Soviet times, but the castle can be freely viewed both from the outside and from the courtyard.
