[1] The castle area, formerly on the very border with Turkey and Wallachia, was densely planted with small castles, serving the population as protection from sudden attacks by Tatars and Moldavian bandits.

[1] The town was first mentioned in 1456,[2] and in 1629 Borshchiv was granted the Magdeburg Law[2] and the Vasa coat of arms – Snopek.

It can be assumed that the castle was not only the owner's dwelling, but also a bastion that gave shelter to residents when the city fortifications were unable to stop an enemy attack.

Extensive underground dungeons testified to the size and importance of this ancient stronghold.

[1] In 1763, construction of a church began near the palace, which was located within one section of the castle's fortifications.
