Castle built in 1630 on the steep bank of the Zbrucz River, north of the city center,[1] and an architectural monument of local importance.

[2][3] The castle was built as a borderland fortalition on the initiative of Marcin Kalinowski,[2] Crown Field Hetman.

Quickly rebuilt, it still managed to defend itself against the Cossacks and Tatars in 1653 and against the Muscovite army in 1655.

In 1683, after the defeat of the Turks at Vienna, it was recaptured by Polish troops under the command of Andrzej Potocki, castellan of Kraków.

[1] The castle, which existed in a semi-ruined state, was sold by Agenor Romuald Goluchowski in the first half of the 19th century to a local rabbi, who dismantled the structure and built a new palace and synagogue for himself, which were completely destroyed in 1914–1918,[5] during World War I.
