General information about Zaliztsi Castle (Zaliztsi)

The castle in Zaliztsi was founded in 1516 by the crown hetman Martyn Kamyanetsky, who received these lands from the Polish king Syhizmund I.

It was from here in 1604 that Lzhedmytriy I, the husband of Maryna Mnishek and the son-in-law of Yuri Mnishek, who at that time owned Zaliztsi Castle, started his march to Moscow. After the overthrow of Lzhedmytriy, the castle passed into the hands of the Vyshnevetskys, who turned it into a magnate's residence.

The castle was quadrangular, with four corners and a gate tower. There was a two-story palace in the northern part.

In the 18th century, Zaliztsi Castle was converted into a cloth factory. It has reached our days in ruins. Fragments of the northern and western walls have been preserved, as well as a semi-basement ...

Замок у Залізцях закладений у 1516 році гетьманом польним коронним Мартином Кам'янецьким, який отримав ці землі від польського короля Сигізмунда I.

Саме звідси в 1604 році розпочав свій похід на Москву Лжедмитрій I, чоловік Марини Мнішек та зять Юрія Мнішека, якому в той час належав Залозецький замок. Після повалення Лжедмитрія замок перейшов до рук Вишневецьких, які перетворили його на магнатську резиденцію.

Замок був чотирикутним, з чотирма кутовими та надбрамною вежею. У північній частині був двоповерховий палац.

У XVIII столітті Залозецький замок було переобладнано під суконну фабрику. До наших днів дійшов у руїнах. Збереглися фрагменти північної та західної стіни, а також напівпідвальний поверх з вузьким коридором.
