In 1672, Shargorod was captured by the Turkish army and for 27 years it bore the name Kuchuk-Istanbul (Little Istanbul).

In the 19th century, after Right-Bank Ukraine joined the Russian Empire, Prince Sangushko became the owner of the town. Culture began to develop: schools and a library were operating. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were 9 synagogues in the city, but most of them were closed or destroyed by the Bolsheviks and fascists.

The complex of buildings of the Mykolaiv Monastery (XVIII-XIX centuries) and the Church of Florian Shary (1627-1791) have also been preserved.

В XIX столітті, після входження Правобережної України до складу Російської імперії, господарем містечка став князь Сангушко. Почала розвиватися культура: працювали училища, бібліотека. На початку XX століття в місті було 9 синагог, але більшість з них були закриті або зруйновані більшовиками та фашистами.

Також зберігся комплекс будівель Миколаївського монастиря (XVIII-XIX століття), Костел Флоріана Шарого (1627-1791 роки).

Saint Nicholas Monastery

Temple , Architecture

Saint Nicholas Sharhorod Men's Monastery was founded in 1718 by the Basilian Fathers, who were invited by magnate Stanislav Lyubomyrsky.

In 1782, the new owner of Sharhorod, Yuzef Sylvestr Sosnovsky, allocated a part of the ruins of the Sharhorod Castle for the construction of a Uniate monastery and a bursa school. In the center of the complex, the Nicolas Myrlikiiskyi Cathedral was built.

After the annexation of the region to the Russian Empire, the monastery was transformed into an Orthodox one, and the school into a seminary. Reconstruction was carried out in 1806-1818.

The monastery is surrounded by defensive walls. The complex includes the Saint Nicolas Cathedral, the over-gate building with the belfry, the fraternal building with the Saint Michael's Church, and the corner tower.

Sharhorod Castle

Castle / fortress

The remains of the fortifications of the Sharhorod castle, built in 1585 by the prince Yan Zamoyskyi.

The castle was located on a hill at the confluence of the Kovbasna River in Murashka, had a citadel with five towers, and long-range artillery.

In 1595, the fortress was destroyed by the Cossacks of Severyn Nalyvayko, and in 1648 it was captured by the troops of Maksym Kryvonos. The Cossack garrison withstood Polish sieges until 1651, when they were forced to surrender by the army of Hetman Martyn Kalynovsyi.

Since the 18th century, the Sharhorod castle lost its strategic importance and began to crumble. Despite an attempt at restoration made in the 19th century, only the ruins of one tower and fragments of retaining walls, which are located among private buildings, have survived to this day.
