Pniv Castle

Castle / fortress

The powerful defensive Pniv Castle was built in the foothills of the Carpathians at the end of the 16th century on the ancient Transcarpathian trade route from Galicia to Hungary.

It served as a residence for magnates of the Polish (according to other sources - Hungarian or Moldavian) Kuropatv family, and also served as a customs point. The pentagonal structure with four corner towers and one gate tower was at one time the most powerful fortress in the Carpathian region. The residential palace of Kuropatv was located in the center.

The castle repeatedly withstood tests of strength during the Polish-Turkish wars of the 17th century, as well as during popular uprisings led by Hrynia Kardash, Oleksa Dovbush and others. In 1648, the Pniv Castle, whose defense was managed by Mykola Kuropatv, withstood the siege of the 5,000-strong Cossack army under the command of Colonel Semen Vysochan. After the end of the Liberation War under the leadership of Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, the owners had to rebuild the castle from the ruins, but soon it lost its importance and fell into disrepair.

Restoration attempts were made both in the 19th and 20th centuries, but so far without success.

Access is free.
