The palace was completely destroyed during the Soviet rule. In fact, only one castle tower has survived. Another is in ruins, and only the foundation remains of the third. One of the utility rooms and some basement rooms have also been preserved.

Руїни замку, що погано збереглися, зведеного в XVII столітті на горі, оточеній струмком Драпака. Ім'я засновника невідоме.

Замок у Висічці був чотирикутним, з чотирма кутовими вежами. У 1672 році його захопили турки, а в 1675 році в замку перебував із військом польський король Ян Собеський.

У 1820 році власниця Висічки Марія Голійовська-Чарковська збудувала на території напівзруйнованого замку палац у стилі неоготики. У 1900 році Кирило Чарковський наказав розібрати замкові мури та в'їзну вежу, а також засипати рови.

Палац був повністю знищений за радянської влади. Фактично збереглася лише одна замкова вежа. Ще одна в руїнах, а від третьої залишився лише фундамент. Також збереглося одне із господарських приміщень, деякі підвальні приміщення.
