General information about Historical and Cultural Reserve "Medzhibizh Castle" (Medzhybizh)

The majestic Medzhibizh Castle at the confluence of the Buzhok River with the Pivdeniy Buh, where the ancient Rus city of Mezhibozh stood in the 11th and 13th centuries, began to be built in 1362 by princes Koriatovych (Koryatovych), who received these lands from the Grand Duke Olherd of Lithuania.

Medzhibizh Castle became an outpost on the eastern border of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, later Poland. In the XV-XVI centuries, he successfully repelled Tatar attacks.

In 1540, the castle passed into the possession of the noble family of the Russian voivodes of Senyavsky, who rebuilt it and strengthened it with corner towers. An elegant palace and a Gothic chapel were built on the territory, which was later rebuilt in the Baroque style. A small garrison and palace servants occup ...

In 1540, the castle passed into the possession of the noble family of the Russian voivodes of Senyavsky, who rebuilt it and strengthened it with corner towers. An elegant palace and a Gothic chapel were built on the territory, which was later rebuilt in the Baroque style. A small garrison and palace servants occupied the service premises.

Princes Chartoriysky added even more luxury to the architecture in the 18th century.

The castle survived to this day in a good condition, although it was damaged during two world wars. The pentagonal Knight's Tower with an observation deck, the castle church, the carriage row and the barracks, which house the museum exhibits of the State Historical and Cultural Reserve "Mezhibyzh", have been restored. In particular, historical and ethnographic museums, as well as the Holodomor Museum. The restoration of the palace is ongoing.

In August, the "Ancient Medzhibizh" festival with knightly tournaments takes place on the territory of the fortress.

Величний Меджибізький замок на місці впадання річки Бужок у Південний Буг, де в XI-XIII століттях стояло давньоруське місто Межибож, почали зводити в 1362 році князі Коріатовичі (Корятовичі), що отримали ці землі від великого князя Литовського Ольгерда.

Меджибізький замок став форпостом на східному кордоні Великого князівства Литовського, згодом Польщі. В XV-XVI століттях успішно відбивав напади татар.

В 1540 році замок перейшов у володіння шляхетського роду руських воєвод Сенявських, які перебудували його й зміцнили кутовими вежами. На території звели вишуканий палац та готичну каплицю, яка пізніше була перебудована в бароковому стилі. Невеликий гарнізон та палацова челядь займали службові приміщення.

Ще більше розкоші додали до архітектури князі Чарторийські в XVIII столітті.

До наших днів замок дожив у непоганому стані, хоч і постраждав під час двох світових воєн. Відреставровано п'ятигранну Лицарську вежу з оглядовим майданчиком, замкову церкву, каретний ряд та казарми, в яких розміщені музейні експозиції Державного історико-культурного заповідника "Межибіж". Зокрема, історичний та етнографічний музеї, а також музей Голодомору. Триває реставрація палацу.

В серпні на території фортеці проходить фестиваль із лицарськими турнірами "Стародавній Меджибіж".
