Bishop's Castle

Castle / fortress

The ruins of the bishop's castle stand on the steep Nadzbruchan mountain above the village of Chornokozyntsi.

From the middle of the 15th century, the fortified summer residence of the Roman Catholic bishops of Kamyanets-Podilskyi was located here. During the first century of the existence of the castle, which stands on the Wallachian road, the castle had to be renovated several times, as it was very often subjected to Tatar sieges - in 1502, 1503, 1507, 1511, 1513, 1516, and the last village was burned to the ground. The most extensive repair work was carried out after the expulsion of the Turks who ruled here from 1674 to 1699.

A two-story palace was attached to the regular castle with two round towers, and a palace-type estate was built on the southeastern slopes of the castle hill. The defensive walls had a thickness of 1.9 to 3.6 meters.

Only the ruins of the castle and the stone gate of the estate have survived to our days.
