Chernelytsia Castle

Castle / fortress

In the 17th century, Chernelytsia Castle was one of the most powerful eastern outposts of the Commonwealth of Nations.

It was built in 1659 by the Bratslav voivode Mykhaylo Chartoryskyi, as evidenced by his coat of arms "Pohon" on the gate tower. On the other side, there is the coat of arms of "Pilava" of the prince's wife, Yefrosyniya Stanislavitska (a legend is associated with her about the swarthy mistress of the castle, who committed suicide after cheating on her husband).

The castle is square in plan, with high walls on earthen ramparts and four bastions at the corners. It played an important role during the Polish-Turkish wars, Polish troops stored weapons and supplies here. The Polish king Yan III Sobieski repeatedly stayed in the castle during his Moldavian campaigns.

As a magnate's residence, the castle lasted until 1817, when its last owner, Mykola Tsensky, died. In Soviet times, a hospital was located on the territory.

Now the castle is in a dilapidated state.
