[1] An artificially raised island[2] was chosen as the site for the castle, which was flanked on the east by the waters of the Koropets River, a left-bank tributary of the Dniester, and on the west and north by the Muzhylivka River, a tributary of the Koropets.

In 1663 King John II Casimir Vasa of Poland stayed at the castle.

In 1698, Feliks Kazimierz Potocki, governor of Kraków and field hetman of the crown, pursued by some 14,000 Tatars, leaned on the walls of the local castle on 8 September during the Battle of Podhajce.

In the 19th century, a brewery and distillery were set up inside, which operated until World War II.

[5] Dalerac, a courtier to King Jan III Sobieski of Poland, wrote about the castle as an old-fashioned building, having massive towers and high terraces, surrounded by ramparts.
