Medzhibizh Castle became an outpost on the eastern border of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, later Poland. In the XV-XVI centuries, he successfully repelled Tatar attacks.
In 1540, the castle passed into the possession of the noble family of the Russian voivodes of Senyavsky, who rebuilt it and strengthened it with corner towers. An elegant palace and a Gothic chapel were built on the territory, which was later rebuilt in the Baroque style. A small garrison and palace servants occupied the service premises.
Princes Chartoriysky added even more luxury to the architecture in the 18th century.
The castle survived to this day in a good condition, although it was damaged during two world wars. The pentagonal Knight's Tower with an observation deck, the castle church, the carriage row and the barracks, which house the museum exhibits of the State Historical and Cultural Reserve "Mezhibyzh", have been restored. In particular, historical and ethnographic museums, as well as the Holodomor Museum. The restoration of the palace is ongoing.
In August, the "Ancient Medzhibizh" festival with knightly tournaments takes place on the territory of the fortress.
