Medzhybizh Fortress

Medzhybizh Castle (українська. Меджибі́зький замок, Medzhybiz'kyi zamok), built as a bulwark against Ottoman expansion in the 1540s, became one of the strongest fortresses of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland in Podolia. It is situated at the confluence of the Southern Bug and Buzhenka rivers, in the town of Medzhybizh (Polish: Międzybuż), Ukraine.

The castle's founder was Mikołaj Sieniawski, and the Sieniawski family owned Medzhybizh (Polish: Międzybuż) until its extinction in the early 18th century. The stronghold was reconquered from the Turks in 1699 and passed to the Czartoryski family in 1731.

The last rebuilding effort was undertaken by the Russian imperial authorities in the 19th century. Much restoration has been carried out on the fortress since 1968. Within the walls are a small-scale museum and a church from 1586.

Large area, nice view from outside. No option to get in during festival apart from buying a full price ticket. More renovation required

Замок легко найти, что характерно не для всех достопримечательностей Украины. Красивый вид со смотровой башни. Саму крепость надо восстанавливать.

Обязательно спуститесь вниз в крепость при входе слева - оттуда можно подняться га самый верх смотровой башни

За пару лет замок буквально поднят из руин. Каждый раз, когда взодишь, видишь что-то новое, возрожденное
