Picturesque, very romantic castle in the south of Lviv ...

   Probably castle was built in the late XV century. One of the first mentions of it found in the archives of 1530, when it belonged to noble birth Svirzhsky. But modern form it came from the middle of XVII century, since the transition to the ownership of Count O.Tsetnera. Count ordered to rebuild and greatly strengthened the castle, which became the seat of a family of graphs Tsetneriv. Tsetnery rebuilt castle laid park with ponds, built many outbuildings

Despite its prime location of Defence (castle situated on Mount Belz and was surrounded by impenetrable marshes, ponds, ditches at the foot of the walls and composite bridges), palace architecture type it could hardly have serious defensive value.

In 1648 the castle burnt Tatars, and during the liberation war led by Khmelnytsky in 1648-1654 took him several times Cossacks. However, 1672r, during the campaign the Turks in Lviv, he still survived the Turkish siege. During the second campaign Turks Svirzhsky castle again stood and defended in their walls Pomoryansky garrison of the castle, not having sufficient force to defend the secret passage through the woods and came to perehovalasya in Svirzh. During World War II the castle was looted and partially destroyed. New Castle restoration was carried out in 1975 - 1983 years.

Now in the castle park preserved church, founded in the XV century. Modern brick church building in the Renaissance style, which put in place a wooden that collapsed, comes with 1541 above the entrance to the church you can see the remains of the noble coat of arms of the former rulers. To the church of the castle led tunnel. Swamped part of the underground passage can be seen from the moat that surrounds the castle at the tipping bridge. In the courtyard of the castle you can see a large pit, the water of which was the case of siege. Now shut down the well. In general, the current state of the lock is not the best. Actually, only the outer walls remained. Inside, after several "modifications" changed the planning rooms of the castle, rebuilt the other room.
