Zavaliv Castle

[1][2] In 1675, the castle was destroyed during the invasion of the Turkish vizier Ibrahim Szyszman, who took its owner Marek Makowiecki with his wife, children and a large post of nobles and people.

[2] The next owner Stanisław Jan Jabłonowski, Great Hetman of the Crown, rebuilt the destroyed castle and created a fortified post from which he kept watch over the Turks, who farmed in Podolia, often staying here.

During World War I in 1915, the castle, which was on the main front line, was severely damaged, and the collections gathered there were looted.

It presents a spacious, three-winged, one-story high edifice, built of stone and bricks in the shape of the letter "U".

The north and southeast corners are enclosed by polygonal, slightly taller towers, well maintained and converted into apartments.
