A defensive castle built in 1516 by Marcin Kamieniecki[1] of the coat of arms of Pilawa, Voivode of Podolia, on the Seret River,[2] and an architectural monument of national importance.

At the time when the castle was owned by Prince Konstanty Wiśniowiecki, Tsar False Dmitry I[1] was a guest within the walls of the fortress in 1603, and there he devised a plan for an expedition to Moscow.

[3] At the end of the 16th century, the castle was a huge four-winged fortress, built of stone and brick on a quadrangular plan.

[1] Standing in the midst of the inaccessible wetlands of the Seret River, surrounded by a defensive wall, it was a difficult fortress to conquer.

[1] The castle was significantly beautified by Józef Potocki, Great Hetman of the Crown, turning it into a magnate's residence.

[1] By the end of the 19th century, the once defensive castle was in ruins, and its substantial remains were partially inhabited and converted into a brewery and stables.

The castle remains in the form of fragments of a ruin, which rises to the maximum level of a fourth of the original buildings.

In the preserved northwestern part of the complex are the casemates of the building, originally two-story high, as well as the arched main gate and the corner five-sided tower.

Two stone carved coats of arms of the castle's owners have been preserved on the outer north wall of the tower: Pilawa, Róża and Poraj.
