history
Guillaume le Vasseur de Beauplan designed the fortifications, Andrea dell'Aqua was the architect of the two-storey castle that was built from 1633 to 1645. The castle was owned and commissioned by the Grand Hetman and military leader of the Polish-Lithuanian Union , Stanisław Koniecpolski . The castle was attacked by Cossacks in 1648 and 1651, but they were unable to conquer the castle. Stanisław's son had the castle renovated and expanded. Stanisław's grandson of the same name had no heirs and bequeathed the castle and possessions to Jakub Sobieski in 1682 .
From 1728 in the possession of the noble Rzewuski family, Wacław Rzewuski had the castle expanded and a church added. After the area came to Austria, the property remained in the aristocratic Rzewuski family. When the Rzewuskis (Leon Rzewuski) died out, the castle came to Władysław Hieronim Sanguszko in 1865 and, two years later, to his son Eustachy Stanisław Sanguszko , who was governor of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria from September 1895 to March 1898 .
In World War I several times plundered it was the end of 1915 in the area of the course of the Eastern Front, but was not destroyed. Further damage occurred in the Polish-Soviet conflict between 1918 and 1920. Parts of the castle collections were evacuated to Brazil via Romania under Roman Władysław Stanisław Andrzej Sanguszko (1901–1984). From 1921 to 1939, part of the Tarnopol Voivodeship , the castle was used as a tuberculosis sanatorium in Soviet times as part of the Tarnopol Province . In 1956 the castle was badly damaged in a fire. In 1973/74 it was the set for the Polish period film Potop . Lying in Ukraine since 1991, parts of the Lviv picture gallery came to the castle in 1997 . In 2008 it was put on the list of the 100 most endangered cultural monuments ( List of Most Endangered Monuments ) by the WMF .
The castle is described in travel guides as the most important Renaissance castle in Eastern Europe. The remains of the palace park still have over 300-year-old linden trees.
