Description of the sight
The Ternopil castle was founded in 1540 by the great crown hetman J. Tarnovsky on the site of the ancient Russian settlement Sopilche (Topilche) to defend the Polish borders from the Tatars. In the 17th century the great crown chancellor T. Zamoyski significantly expanded the fortifications, but in subsequent years they were repeatedly destroyed. In particular, the castle was almost completely dismantled by the Turks after the capture of the city in 1672. At the beginning of the 19th century. Count F. Koritovsky built a palace in its place, for which the remaining fortifications, towers and gates were demolished, and the building was surrounded by an ordinary fence. Separate castle elements have been preserved. During World War I, the palace was burned down and lay in ruins for a long time. Refurbished in 1951, it housed exhibition halls and a training and sports center. From the street, the building looks unsightly, but from the side of the lake its fortification character is clearly visible.
