[4][5] The stronghold, located on a mountain on the right bank of the Seret River, was frequently attacked and invaded, as it stood on the so-called Tartar route.

In 1675, during the invasion of Ibrahim Szyszman, the castle was besieged by the Turks; after a 15-day defense, it surrendered on the condition that the crew and residents be let go.

From the mid-18th century, the owner of the castle was Ludwika Potocka of the Mniszech family, castellan of Krakow, who bought the estate from the Lubomirskis and built the current palace.

[9] The castle in the 16th century was a residential building with four wings 75 meters long and large cellars.

Inside the fortress was a courtyard, accessed by entrance gates, located on the east and west sides.
