In 1431, Khmilnyk, among other towns of Podillia, came under the rule of the Lithuanian princes and, as a border town, was fortified, and in 1434 the town came under the jurisdiction of Poland. In the period from 1672 to 1699, Khmilnyk was ruled by the Turks, after which the power again passed to the Poles. The city was repeatedly destroyed and burned, but each time it was rebuilt anew.
The watchtower of the old Tarnovsky castle has been preserved, which later became part of the manor of Count Xido. A church and 4 Orthodox churches, built in the period of the XVII-XIX centuries, have also been preserved.
In 1934, while drilling an artesian well, a source of radon-hydrocarbonate-chloride-calcium-sodium mineral water with a high manganese content was discovered. In this regard, the government of Ukraine in 1938 recognized the area where the healing waters of Khmilnyk lie as a resort area. From that time, the construction of large water hospitals began in the city, of which there are now 6, not counting the many mini-hotels and recreation complexes.
Хмільник - курортне містечко на берегах Південного Бугу, відоме лікувальними радоновими водами. Також в лікуванні використовуються торфові грязі.
Вперше Хмільник згадується в 1362 році. Ймовірно, назва походить від хмелю, який рясно ріс в околицях. Через місто проходив так званий "Чорний шлях" набігів кочівників. У 1431 році Хмільник, в числі інших міст Поділля, перейшов під владу литовських князів та, як прикордонне місто, був укріплений, а в 1434 році місто потрапило під юрисдикцію Польщі. У період з 1672 по 1699 рік в Хмільнику господарювали турки, після чого влада знову перейшла до поляків. Неодноразово місто було зруйновано та спалено, але кожен раз відбудовувалося наново.

Збереглася сторожова вежа старого замку Тарновських, яка пізніше увійшла до складу садиби графа Ксідо. Також зберігся костел і 4 православні церкви, побудовані в період XVII-XIX століть.
У 1934 році при бурінні артезіанської скважини було виявлено джерело радонової гідрокарбонатно-хлоридно-кальцієво-натрієвої мінеральної води з високим вмістом марганцю. У зв'язку з цим уряд України в 1938 році визнав район залягання лікувальних вод Хмільника курортною місцевістю. З того часу в місті починається будівництво великих водолікарень, яких зараз налічується 6, не рахуючи безлічі міні-готелів і відпочинкових комплексів.

Castle / fortress , Palace / manor , Architecture , Museum / gallery
The palace of Count Kostyantyn Ksido, who served as adjutant of General Stessel, was built in Khmilnyk in 1913-1915 according to the project of the architect Ivan Fomin on the basis of a Lithuanian defensive castle of the 16th century.
The octagonal fortress tower (1534), which served as a mosque minaret during the Turkish rule, as well as fragments of fortifications that give the palace a medieval look from the side of the river, from the stone bridge across the Pivdennyi Buh (1915, architect Ivan Fomin). A striking contrast to them is created by the front facade, made in the Renaissance style and decorated with a colonnade.

In 1976, a local historian-enthusiast opened a historical museum on public grounds in the Turkish Tower.
