Ruins of Vyshnevetsky Castle
Separate fragments of defensive walls and towers can barely be seen on the site of the medieval castle in Taikury, built in the late 16th - early 17th centuries by Prince Yuriy Vyshnevetskyi.
The castle was made of stone and brick, regular in plan. It had corner towers connecting defensive walls, a drawbridge.
In 1825, the castle burned down. The then owner Oleksandr Illinskyi decided not to restore it and sold it for building materials.
The part of the southern tower, which reached a height of 30 meters and served as a watchtower, was best preserved.
