Hubkiv Castle

Castle / fortress

The romantic ruins of the Hubkiv Castle adorn the picturesque rocky shore of the Sluch River.

The castle was built in the 15th century. It was first mentioned in 1505, when it was destroyed by the Tatars. In the 16th century, the Semashko princes restored the castle, turning it into one of the most powerful fortifications in Volyn. The fortification system consisted of four corner towers, united by walls with loopholes, an entrance gate and a drawbridge. Residential and commercial buildings were located in the castle yard.

In 1596, during Severyn Nalyvayko's rebellion, the Hubkiv Castle was captured by the Cossacks under the command of Hryhoriy Loboda (a memorial sign was erected), but was soon restored by the Poles.

Two episodes of the Northern War, when the fortifications were destroyed first by Russian (1704) and then by Swedish troops (1708), were fatal for the stronghold. Since that time, Hubkiv Castle has not been restored.

Small sections of dilapidated walls of one tower and the former palace, the castle well, have been preserved. Access is free.
