Klevan Castle
Ruins of the castle of the Czartoryski princes above the Stubla, first mentioned in 1475.
Klevan was first mentioned in 1458 as a possession of Prince Mykhailo Czartoryski; documents first name the fortress in 1475 — according to the website of the Klevan community, that is when Prince Mykhailo built it. In 1495 his son Fedir surrounded the castle with stone walls and a deep moat; construction was completed in 1561; two pentagonal towers and a four-arched bridge over the moat survive to this day. The castle withstood Tatar sieges, including in 1640. In 1632 it was handed over to the Jesuits for a college, in 1817 Konstanty Czartoryski rebuilt it for a Polish gymnasium, closed in 1831, and later a theological school transferred from Derman operated here. In the 20th century it housed an NKVD prison (in 1944–1952 for captured UPA soldiers), a vocational school and a sanatorium; since the late 1980s the castle has stood empty and has been falling apart. In 2021 the regional state administration spoke of a private investor for restoration and conversion into a museum, but in 2023 the monument still had no official custodian.
The castle is in a dangerous condition (Espreso.Zakhid, 22.06.2025): nothing blocks vehicle access to the grounds, and the monument is becoming overgrown and needs emergency stabilisation work (Konkurent, 30.09.2026) — view the ruins with care. The “Tunnel of Love” is also in Klevan.
