Zhovkva Castle

It was founded by Polish Hetman Stanisław Żółkiewski as his fortified residence.

The castle had a typically Serlian entrance arch and was encircled by moats (up to 17 meters in width).

One wing of the building accommodated the arsenal and stables; another was immediately contiguous to the city wall.

In the 18th century the castle's facade was decorated with the statues of its owners from the Zolkiewski, Daniłowicz, Sobieski, and Radziwill families.

During the 19th century the chapel and some other structures were dismantled or rebuilt to accommodate a local school.
