Zbarazh Castle
The bastion castle of the Zbarazki princes, 1620–1631 — heart of the 1649 siege.
The castle rose in 1620–1631 at the expense of the Zbarazki princes: a Renaissance palace inside a bastion quadrangle. In the summer of 1649 the Cossack army of Bohdan Khmelnytsky besieged the crown army under its walls — Zbarazh became one of the great names of the Khmelnytsky uprising. Now the national reserve "Castles of Ternopil Region" with a museum.
The reserve's website gives the hours as daily 9:00–20:00 (zamky.te.ua, viewed 03.10.2026), but previously, from 1 October to 1 May, the castle was open 9:00–18:00 (Espreso.Zakhid, 23.06.2024) — check before you travel: (03550) 2-42-47. Watch children on the ramparts — the slopes are steep.
