Danyliv Hrad (Stizhok Mountain)

Historic area , Temple , Architecture , Natural object

The remains of the fortification of Danyliv Hrad with a stone church of the 13th century are located on the steep Stizhok (or Trinity) mountain on the eastern outskirts of the village of Stizhok.

The city was surrounded by three concentric circles of earthen embankments, fortified with wooden and later stone walls. The Trinity Church, located in the center, also performed defensive functions. According to legend, the fortress was founded in 1201 by Prince Roman Mstyslavych, who named it in honor of his son Danylo, but according to other sources, the city existed even earlier - from the 10th century.

In 1240, Danyliv Castle was among the three Volyn cities that Khan Baty was able to attack. However, in 1261, according to the agreement between the Volyn prince Vasylko Romanovych and the khan's jailer Burunday, the fortress was demolished, and since then it has not been restored.

Only the Trinity Church has survived. In 1551, it was reconstructed. Saint Iov of Pochayevskyi gave her special patronage. On the eastern side of the mountain, the remains of an ancient hermit cave monastery of the 10th-12th centuries, contemporaneous with the princely castle, have been preserved.
