The defense church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the village of Bishche is officially dated 1664, but there is an assumption that it could have been created much earlier - in the 16th or even the 14th century.
According to one of the versions, the church was built by Dominican monks, who were invited by the founder of the city of Bishche, nobleman Yan Boshch. The massive three-tier defensive tower of the church is an example of the transition from Romanesque to Gothic architecture. The portal of the church is made in the Renaissance style. Its defensive power was strengthened by stone walls and ramparts. Powerful buttresses were added during the reconstruction in 1730.
During the Second World War, the Church of the Assumption in Bishche was badly damaged and was in a dilapidated state for a long time. Restoration work has been ongoing since 2013. Currently, the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary has been partially restored.

Monument of architecture and urban planning of national importance.
The magnificent defensive residence in Berezhany was built in 1534-1554 by the Rus (Ukrainian) voivode, Grand Crown Hetman Mykola Synyavsky. The impregnable fortification with four towers was built by Italian craftsmen according to the New Dutch system by French engineer Hiyom de Boplan using an artificial water barrier in the floodplain of the Zolota Lypa River. The facades of the palace buildings in the castle courtyard were crowned by two-story arcades-galleries like the Italian palazzo, which surrounded the buildings around the perimeter, and the windows were decorated with Renaissance carvings. The interiors of 14 ceremonial halls were decorated with paintings with battle scenes, on the third floor of the palace was a rich art gallery.
The Trinity Church was located on the territory of the castle, the former splendor of which can be judged even in its current dilapidated condition. In the 17th century, the Synyavsky tomb with marble tombstones by Yan Pfister was added to the church. Mykola Synyavsky and his sons Hiyeronim and Yan, as well as Hiyeronim's wife Anna, were buried here.
In the XIX century the castle began to decline, suffered severe damage during the two world wars. In Soviet times, it was abandoned and turned into a landfill.
In 2002, the Berezhany Synyavsky Castle became part of the State Historical and Architectural Reserve in Berezhany, and its restoration began. A small museum exposition has been opened on the territory of the castle, excursions are organized, souvenirs can be bought.
