Archaeological site
Bokhit (Bohyt) is an ancient pagan settlement on the mountain of the same name in Medobory. Some elements, such as the local dolmen, date back to the 6th-5th centuries BC, while the main buildings date back to the 9th-10th centuries.
The length of the settlement is 300 meters, the width is 50-100 meters. In the center of the temple, an eight-petaled figure with indentations on the edges was found, paved with stone. A similar object has an analogy with the elements of the Perun temple in Novhorod. A square earthen recess for the idol was discovered near the shrine.
In 1848, a Zbruchansky stone idol was found on the bank of the Zbruch River (Lychkivtsi village district), the origin of which is associated with the Bohit settlement. There is an opinion that after the baptism of Rus, most pagans left their lands and moved their spiritual center from Kyiv to these places. Confirmation of this theory is the presence of other hillforts nearby (Zvenyhorod, Hovda) and its satellites.
The "Medobory" Nature Reserve has developed a tourist route and laid an ecological trail through the hillforts.

Brewery "Mykulinetsky Brovar" in Mykulyntsi is considered one of the oldest breweries in Ukraine.
The date "1457" is indicated on the labels of the signature beer "Mykulyn", to which the first mention of the brewery in Mykulyntsi is attributed - in the description of the military campaign of the Polish king Yan Olbracht to the Moldavian principality, but in fact this campaign took place 40 years later.
The first documentary mention of Mykulyntsi beer is found in Austrian sources in 1698. Industrial production of beer was organized in Mykulyntsi by Count Mechyslav Rey in 1885, establishing the production of three varieties: "Lezhak", "Firmove" and "Bik".
In 1939, the plant was nationalized, during Soviet times they produced "Zhygulyvske", "Ukrainian" and "Ryzhke" beers, then "Double Golden" and "Berezneve" appeared.
In 1995, "Mykulinetsky Brovar" LLC was established on the basis of the plant. Currently, the assortment includes about a dozen varieties of live unpasteurized beer, including premium-class ones.
Excursions and tastings are held.

Castle / fortress
The ruins of the defensive Buchach Castle, which protected Buchach from the Tatars and Turks since the 14th century, stand on a hill in the center of the city.
The fortress was founded in 1379 by the local magnates Buchachskyi, and three centuries later it was fortified by the new owners Potocki. In 1648, the Cossack army tried to capture Buchach Castle, and in 1665 and 1667 it was unsuccessfully besieged by the Tatars. Only in 1672, the Turkish army was able to capture the city and the fortress was destroyed.
The Potocki tried to restore Buchach Castle, but in the 19th century it finally lost its significance and was almost completely dismantled for building materials.
Fragments of walls and towers have been preserved.

Architecture
Buchach Town Hall is a wonderful baroque creation of the Lviv architect Bernard Meretin, and is a hallmark of the city.
The 37-meter-high town hall was built in Buchach at the expense of Mykola Vasyl Potoski. The two-story tower rests on a two-story cubic base. Initially, the town hall was crowned with an 18-meter spire (replaced by the current dome after the fire of 1811) and decorated with 17 sculptures by the outstanding sculptor Ivan Pinzel on the theme of the struggle between good and evil. Most of the sculptures were destroyed by a fire in 1865, four of them survived only in fragments.
Thanks to the sophisticated synthesis of architecture and sculpture, the Buchach Town Hall is considered an outstanding work of world architecture of the late Baroque era.
Restoration is currently underway, and the creation of the Ivan Pinzel Museum is planned. The lost sculptures are planned to be replaced with copies. The restored clock on the top tier strikes every quarter of an hour, and every hour plays the melodies of Ukrainian songs.
In 2014, a monument to Ivan Heorhiy Pinzel was erected in front of the town hall.

Budaniv Castle was built at the beginning of the 17th century by Yan Khodorovsky on the site of a wooden castle burned by the Tatars, built at the end of the 16th century by Voivode Yakub Budzanovsky, whose name the village still bears.
The new stone castle on top of the hill was quadrangular in plan, with four round corner towers around the perimeter. During its existence, the castle was captured and destroyed several times by Bohdan Khmelnytskyi's troops, as well as by Turkish troops. It was restored every time, and in the middle of the 18th century, the new owners of Potocki Castle rebuilt the western part of the fortifications into a church.
To this day, in addition to the church, two round towers and part of the castle walls have been preserved. A women's psychiatric hospital has been located on the territory of the castle since Soviet times, but the castle can be freely viewed both from the outside and from the courtyard.

The Carmelite monastery-fortress with the Renaissance Church of the Assumption was built in Terebovlia on the banks of the Hnizna River in 1617 at the expense of Petro Ozhyha.
Surrounded by a fortress wall with four corner towers with loopholes. The most notable building of the monastery is the former Terebovlia parish church, the construction of which was completed in 1639. A miraculous icon of the Mother of God was kept here, which is now in Gdansk.
In Soviet times, the premises of the Carmelite monastery housed a Christmas tree toy factory.
In 1990, the complex was handed over to the community of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church. The church was rededicated as the Orthodox Church of Saint Volodymyr, a seminary was opened in the monastery premises.

The ruins of a poorly preserved castle built in the 17th century on a mountain surrounded by the Drapaka stream. The name of the founder is unknown.
The castle in Vysichka was quadrangular, with four corner towers. In 1672, it was captured by the Turks, and in 1675, the Polish king Yan Sobeskyi stayed in the castle with his army.
In 1820, the owner of Vysichka, Mariya Holiyovska-Charkovska, built a palace in the Neo-Gothic style on the territory of the dilapidated castle. In 1900, Kyrylo Charkovskyi ordered the castle walls and the entrance tower to be dismantled, as well as the moats to be filled in.
The palace was completely destroyed during the Soviet rule. In fact, only one castle tower has survived. Another is in ruins, and only the foundation remains of the third. One of the utility rooms and some basement rooms have also been preserved.

Temple , Natural object , Archaeological site
The cave monastery in Monastyrok was founded in the 9th-10th centuries by hermit monks on the site of an ancient Slavic pagan temple.
It is noticeable that human hands put effort into the arrangement of the natural cave. A huge stone overhanging the entrance to the cave is supported by several columns made of flat stone blocks.
In the temple there is an image of Jesus, which, according to legend, came to the monks in the form of a play of light and shadow. They drew this image with paint and got what we can see now.
An ancient altar is also preserved in the cave, which is still used for its intended purpose. It is decorated with icons and lamps. Archeologically, it has been proven that the temple was lined with wood, had a wooden floor and may have been heated.
At the end of the 17th century, the temple was destroyed by fire, and in the 18th century it was destroyed by an earthquake.
Back in the 16th century, the Basilian Monastery was founded nearby. The complex includes the Ascension Church (XVI-XVIII centuries) and monastery cells. Near the entrance to the cave lies a stone with a cross carved on it, which is called the "stone of Dovbush". Perhaps it was a pagan altar.

Temple , Natural object
The early Christian cave temple near the village of Stinka in Ternopil region belongs to the 12th-13th centuries.
The natural cave of karst origin is located on the left bank of the Dniester at an altitude of 15 meters. On the second level, an artificial room measuring approximately 8 by 9 meters was cut out of the travertine rock. In the center of the eastern wall is an altar with a solar sign in the form of a swastika. Crosses and other Christian and pagan symbols are depicted on the walls.
Probably, the temple existed even in pagan times, and with the advent of Christianity it became a cave monastery.

Two round Gothic crenellated towers at the bottom of the giant crater are the remains of the ancient Chervonohorod Castle, the history of which dates back to the 9th century, when there was an ancient Rus settlement called Chorlene Mistechko (later it was called Chervonohorod, Chervonohrud, Chervonohrad).
In 1351, the Rus-Lithuanian princes Koriatovychi (Koryatovychi) built a wooden castle in Chervonohorod for protection from the Tatars. At the beginning of the 17th century, the royal elder Mykola Danylovych built a new stone castle at the bend of the Dzhuryn River, which was later destroyed by the Turks. The picturesque ruins served as the basis for Prince Karol Poninsky to build a magnificent Gothic palace in 1870 (architect Yulian Zakharevych).
The estate in Chervonohorod was considered one of the most elegant tycoon residences in Poland. Until 1939, Princess Lyubomyrska lived in the Chervonohorod castle.
By the middle of the 20th century, the estate fell into disrepair, during the Soviet rule, most of the buildings were dismantled for building materials. Nearby you can see the ruins of the Peter and Paul Church of the XVII-XVIII centuries, the abandoned cemetery with the Poninsky tomb, as well as the remains of the hydroelectric station near the Dzhuryn waterfall.
Descent into the canyon to Chervonohorod Castle - 2.5 kilometers of rather steep ground, which in bad weather can be difficult for cars to pass. Lately, there is an entrance fee, walking is free.
Chervone tract Nyrkiv
The stone Chortkiv Castle at the foot of the Vygnan mountain was built in 1610 by the new owner of these lands, Stanislav Holsky, on the site of the wooden fortress of the Princes of Chartkivsky.
The pentagonal fortification with towers at the corners, inside which the palace and farm buildings were located, was considered a typical defensive structure of its time, but it had an unfortunate strategic position - the Chortkiv Castle was repeatedly destroyed. In particular, in 1648 it was stormed by the troops of Maksym Kryvonos, and in 1672 it was captured by the Turks.
In the 19th century, the representatives of the Potocki princely family tried to restore the Chortkiv Castle, for some time it was owned by the order of Carmelite sisters, but it remained uninhabited and gradually fell into disrepair. During the 20th century, it was used as a warehouse. Until recently, it was owned by one of the city's utility companies.
Currently, Chortkiv Castle is under the protection of the National Reserve "Castles of Ternopillya". Archaeological research and conservation work are underway. It is planned to create a museum and a cafe.
