General information about Stare Selo

The ancient Stare Selo is located on the Davydivka River 15 kilometers from Lviv in the direction of Bibrka and Rohatyn.

It was first mentioned in 1401, when the Polish king Vladyslav Yahaylo handed over these lands to Voivode Chorny.

According to one of the versions, the name is connected with the fact that in the 12th-13th centuries, the historical nucleus of the Ancient Rus city of Cherepyv was located at this place (the toponym is preserved for the nearby village of Cherepyn).

On the basis of ancient fortifications, in 1584-1589, the princes Ostrozski built a stone castle in the middle of a marshy area, which was significantly strengthened after the War of Liberation. At the beginning of the 18th century, it belonged to Adam Senyavsky, who moved his arsenal here from Lviv. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the castle was owned by the Chortoryskyi and Potocki.

За однією з версій, назва пов'язана з тим, що на цьому місці в XII-XIII століттях знаходилося історичне ядро давньоруського міста Черепів (топонім зберігся за сусіднім селом Черепин).

На основі стародавніх укріплень в 1584-1589 роках князі Острозькі звели посеред болотистої місцевості кам'яний замок, який був значно укріплений після Визвольної війни. На початку XVIII століття замок належав Адаму Сенявському, який переніс сюди зі Львова свій арсенал. В XVIII-XIX століттях замком володіли Чорторийські та Потоцькі.

Stare Selo Castle

Castle / fortress , Architecture

Stare Selo Castle is one of the largest strongholds of Galicia.

A powerful stone fortification in the middle of a swampy area was built in 1584-1589 by the princes of Ostrozky to protect the south-eastern approaches to Lviv.

Architect Amvrosiy Prykhylny used the style of the Eastern European late renaissance. The castle with an area of about 2 hectares was surrounded by 8-meter walls in the shape of an irregular triangle, at the corners of which there were six defense towers 14-16 meters high with baroque carvings (3 of them have been preserved).

In 1648, the castle was taken by the troops of Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, in 1672 it withstood the Turkish siege.

At the beginning of the 18th century, the Stare Selo Castle belonged to Adam Mykolay Senyavskyi, who moved his arsenal here from Lviv. In the 18th and 19th centuries, it was owned by the Chartoriysky and Potocki. The last owner, Alfred Potocki, turned the castle into a brewery, after which it began to decline.

In 2010, the architectural monument was given a long-term concession to a private investor under the conditions of restoration and creation of a recreational complex, but the ruins of the castle still remain in a neglected state. In 2023, the court terminated the concession agreement with the private company and returned the Stare Selo Castle to state ownership.
