Zholkva

The first mention of Zhovkva dates back to the middle of the XIV century. The most significant figure is considered to be the Polish hetman Stanislav Zholkevsky (the city was named after him), who soon after the construction of the first houses decided to create an “ideal city”, about which ancient philosophers dreamed. With his light hand, a castle was built with the “Menagerie” garden, which once served as the residence of Jan III Sobieski, a market square with trading houses and arcade galleries. The Church of St. Lawrence was also famous, where prominent figures of the Polish state were buried, in particular, the hetman Stanislav Zholkevsky himself. Despite the fact that the city was badly damaged during the Second World War, a lot of effort was made to restore its former beauty.

Zolochevsky castle

The first mention of the Zolochevsky castle, which is part of the “Golden Horseshoe” of Lviv region, dates back to the first half of the 16th century. Built in the shape of a rectangular citadel, it is distinguished by the presence of earthen ramparts along the perimeter and four bastions. Walking through the territory, you can see the Chinese Palace, a two-story palace. The first is considered a miracle of engineering and construction: here for the first time in Poland sewer and heating systems were implemented. Until the 18th century, Zolochevsky Castle was used as a defensive complex, and with the advent of Austrian, Polish, Soviet authorities - as a prison. During the last restoration, carried out several decades ago, stones with mysterious Gothic inscriptions dating back to the 15th century were found here. According to historians, the find is associated with the activities of the Knights Templar in this territory.

According to archival documents, the Greek Catholic Church was an integral element of the spiritual center of Galicia. At first, the attraction was the possession of the princes Gediminovich, later - Lagodovsky. There was a period when the shrine served as the residence of Metropolitan Mikhail Levitsky. Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytsky thoroughly engaged in the revival of the laurel with its immediate functions and transferred it to the monks a century ago. Today, believers have the opportunity to visit a holy place and bow before the main shrine of the temple - the Unev miraculous icon of the Virgin.

Svirzhsky castle

Finishing a trip to the main castles and shrines of Lviv region, it is worth visiting a unique monument of defense architecture - Svirzhsky castle. It was assumed that due to its favorable location (it is surrounded by impassable swamps and lakes), it will “perfectly” perform its functions. Expectations did not come true: the castle was taken by Cossack troops, Tatar, but still managed to withstand the massive Turkish siege. Today, the attraction is partially restored and is on lease.
