The town of Zbarazh, rich in historical sights, is spread out on the banks of the Hnyezna River (a tributary of the Seret River), on the northwestern outskirts of the Tovtry mountain range.

After that, the brothers Khrystofor and Yuriy Zbarazkyi decided to move their residence to the east - to the place of the current Zbarazh, where they built a new castle, which has been perfectly preserved to this day.

In the 18th century, it belonged to the Vyshnevetskyi princes. Zbarazh castle became famous during the War of Liberation, having withstood the siege of Bohdan Khmelnytskyi's Cossack troops in 1649, which ended with the signing of the Zboriv Agreement (these events are described in Henryk Senkevych novel "Fire and Sword"). In 1707, Hetman Ivan Mazepa and Russian Tsar Peter I visited Zbarazh.

Now the city is the center of the Ternopil Castles National Reserve. There are many architectural monuments, the tourist infrastructure is developing: hotels, restaurants.

Багате на історичні пам'ятки містечко Збараж розкинулося на берегах річки Гнєзна (притока ріки Серет), на північно-західних околицях гірської гряди Товтри.

Відоме з 1211 року, входило до складу Галицько-Волинського князівства, потім Польщі, Австро-Угорщини. В урочищі Старий Збараж збереглося давньоруське городище із залишками замку, побудованого в XIV столітті князем Дмитром Корибутом з династії Гедиміновичів. З 1434 року місто стало резиденцією польських князів Несвицьких, які незабаром стали називатися Збаразькими. У 1589 році місто та замок були повністю спалені татарами.

Після цього брати Христофор та Юрій Збаразькі вирішили перенести свою резиденцію на схід - на місце нинішнього Збаража, де і заклали новий замок, що чудово зберігся до наших днів.

В XVIII столітті він належав князям Вишневецьким. Збаразький замок прославився під час Визвольної війни, витримавши в 1649 році облогу козацьких військ Богдана Хмельницького, що закінчилося підписанням Зборівської угоди (ці події описані в романі Генрика Сенкевича "Вогнем і мечем"). У 1707 році в Збаражі побували гетьман Іван Мазепа та російський цар Петро I.

Зараз місто є центром Національного заповідника "Замки Тернопілля". Є безліч архітектурних пам'яток, розвивається туристична інфраструктура: готелі, ресторани.

Zbarazh Castle

Castle / fortress

The well-preserved Zbarazh Castle has been the residence of Lithuanian princes and Polish nobles for centuries.

The construction of a new fortress instead of the fortress in Stary Zbarazh destroyed by the Tatars was started in 1620 by Princes Hristofor and Yuriy Zbarazkyi, who commissioned a project in Venice from the famous architect and engineer Vinchentso Skamotstsi. His work embodied the advanced achievements of the art of fortification of that time.

The castle consists of a Renaissance-style palace, casemate ramparts surrounding it, an entrance tower and a moat. In the courtyard there is a siege well 70 m deep, connected by underground passages with the Bernardine monastery at the other end of Zbarazh.

In the 17th century, the new owners of Zbarazh Castle, Princes Vyshnevetskyi, fortified it with four bastions. In 1649 the castle withstood a seven-week siege of Bohdan Khmelnytsky's Cossack army, and in 1734 it was captured by the Haydamaks.

Potocki magnates in the XVIII century turned the military fortress into an ordinary palace estate.

During the first half of the XX century the building was severely damaged during the wars, and only in 1985 the restoration was completed. The State Historical and Architectural Reserve was established on the basis of Zbarazh Castle, it is the center of the Ternopil Castles National Reserve.

Archaeological and ethnographic expositions have been set up in the premises, a collection of weapons is on display, unique works of wood carver Viktor Lupiychuk are on display, and the diorama "Siege of 1649" is being created.

In one of the casemates there is a restaurant "Legend", in the manor house (XIX century) on the outskirts of the park opened the hotel "Hetman".
