[1] At the beginning of the 17th century, the castle had certain fortification shortcomings, in particular: rounded rondell towers whose walls could not withstand cannon fire with the development of artillery at the time.

Von Mieg's map clearly shows that the territory of the present cloister and Saint Stanislaus church was surrounded by a square stone wall, and that round rondell towers were located at the corners.

[1] In one of his works, researcher Sadok Barącz notes that in the early 18th century the Dominican church and monastery were surrounded by a wall, to which many materials were transported during the dismantling of the castle in the village of Shmankivtsi, built in 1625.

[1] From the beginning of the eighteenth century, the church and Dominican monastery could function inside the castle building.

In the 20s and 30s of the eighteenth century, the construction of a baroque church with the addition of the Dominican monastery[1] began, which, despite numerous appeals by the Group of Conservatives of Eastern Galicia to the clergy and local authorities, destroyed the Old Chortkiv Castle.
