At the beginning of the 17th century, the new owner, Stanislav Holskyi, built a stone castle-fortress and built a church, which was rebuilt at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1648, Chortkiv became one of the centers of the peasant uprising, then it was under the rule of Turkey, Austria, and Poland.
Before the Second World War, a large Jewish community lived here. After the deportation of Ukrainians from Poland in 1947, a large community of Lemkos settled in Chortkiv, which now make up 20% of the district's population.
The market square of the old town, despite the neglect of most of the buildings, resembles provincial European towns. This color is created by a high neo-Gothic church, an old town hall with a clock on the tower and a rooster on the spire, small houses in the Art Nouveau style, curved cobbled streets.
Hotels and restaurants in Chortkiv are mostly of a low standard, but there are exceptions.
Місто Чортків - великий райцентр з легким європейським колоритом в архітектурі, зручний для піших прогулянок. Розташоване на берегах річці Серет між Тернополем і Чернівцями.
Засноване в XV столітті шляхтичем Іваном (Яном) Прандотичем (Прандотой) з польських Чартків, на честь яких отримало назву Чартковіце. Онук засновника Єжи Прандотич перейменував місто в Чарткув (Чортків) і взяв прізвище Чартковський. Він же заклав перший дерев'яний замок під Вигнанською горою.
На початку XVII століття новий власник Станіслав Гольський звів кам'яний замок-фортецю і заклав костел, перебудований на початку XX століття. В 1648 році Чортків став одним з центрів селянського повстання, потім перебував під владою Туреччини, Австрії, Польщі.

До Другої світової війни тут проживала численна єврейська громада. Після депортації українців з Польщі в 1947 році в Чорткові осіла велика громада лемків, які складають зараз до 20% населення району.
Ринкова площа старого міста, незважаючи на занедбаність більшості будівель, нагадує провінційні європейські містечка. Цей колорит створює високий неоготичний костел, стара ратуша з годинником на вежі та півником на шпилі, невеликі будиночки в стилі модерн, криві бруковані вулички.
Готелі та ресторани в Чорткові в основному невисокого рівня, але є винятки.
Saint Stanislav Dominican Church
Temple , Architecture
The Dominican Church of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary and Saint Stanislav in Chortkiv was built in the Neo-Gothic style at the beginning of the 20th century according to the project of the architect Yan Karol Sas-Zubzhytskyi on the site of the old cathedral, built in 1610 by the master of the city Stanislav Holsky as his burial place.
Initially, the church was part of the defensive Dominican monastery complex, surrounded by walls with towers and loopholes, but before the First World War it was completely rebuilt (a fragment of the defensive wall remained on the back side).
The Dominican church in Chortkiv is considered one of the most beautiful neo-Gothic buildings in Ukraine. The architect Sas-Zubzhytskyi, being a supporter of historical stylizations, vividly embodied in this church the characteristic features of his own architectural style of "Visualian Gothic". The lower part of the church is made of stone, and the upper part is made of red brick. The figures of the saints were made by sculptors Cheslav Stovp and Diaman Stankevych.
Since 2009, the temple has been a sanctuary (holy repository) of the icon of the Mother of God of the Holy Rosary (Theotokos of Chortkiv).
During the Soviet rule, the church was closed, but in 1989 it was returned to the Dominicans.
Chortkiv Castle
Castle / fortress
The stone Chortkiv Castle at the foot of the Vygnan mountain was built in 1610 by the new owner of these lands, Stanislav Holsky, on the site of the wooden fortress of the Princes of Chartkivsky.
The pentagonal fortification with towers at the corners, inside which the palace and farm buildings were located, was considered a typical defensive structure of its time, but it had an unfortunate strategic position - the castle was repeatedly destroyed. In particular, in 1648 it was stormed by the troops of Maksym Kryvonos, and in 1672 it was captured by the Turks.
In the 19th century, the representatives of the Potocki princely family tried to restore the castle, for some time it was owned by the order of Carmelite sisters, but it remained uninhabited and gradually fell into disrepair. During the 20th century, it was used as a warehouse. Until recently, it was owned by one of the city's utility companies.
Currently, Chortkiv Castle is under the protection of the National Reserve "Castles of Ternopillya". Archaeological research and conservation work are underway. It is planned to create a museum and a cafe.
