Стародавнє місто Ізяслав над річкою Горинь розташоване в стороні від основних транспортних магістралей - між Старокостянтиновом і Острогом, поруч із Шепетівкою.

В ХІІ-ХІV століттях входив до складу Галицько-Волинського князівства, далі перейшов у власність князя Острозького. Його син Юрій, отримавши місто у спадок, заснував династію князів Заславських. У 1466 році він звів на горі Рогнеда замок, фрагменти якого збереглися до наших днів на території Старого міста.

Після багатьох спустошливих набігів татар в XVII столітті почалося відродження, був зведений Бернардинський монастир і костел Іоанна Хрестителя. В 1648 році Ізяславський замок був захоплений Богданом Хмельницьким, але незабаром місто відійшло назад до Польщі.

Будівництву та розвитку Нового міста посприяли в XVIII столітті князі Сангушки, чий палац також зберігся.

The main buildings were Saint Michael's Church (1602) and a huge cell building (1610), surrounded by 6-meter walls with an entrance tower and a gate.

The monastery was damaged during the War of Liberation in 1648, but was later restored and rebuilt under the direction of the architect Paolo Fontana.

During Soviet times, the monastery was converted into a maximum security prison. The building still performs this function, so it is not possible to inspect the territory.
