Zbarazh Castle

The Zbarazh Castle (Ukrainian: Збаразький замок, romanized: Zbarazkyi zamok; Polish: Zamek w Zbarażu) is a fortified defense stronghold in Zbarazh, built during the times of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. It dominates the crests of the Zamkova Hills of Ternopil Oblast in Western Ukraine next to the city's central plaza that was not in so distant past surrounded by marshland. The castle existence has been credited to last members of the Polish Zbaraski family; Krzysztof and Jerzy Zbaraski.

Evidence of the City of Zbarazh formation can be seen in the Ruthenian fortress dating back to 1211 that was positioned somewhat away from current castle. Today this is a village of Zbarazky District located in the immediate proximity of Zbarazh itself and called the village of Staryi Zbarazh. At that distant time the old castle and the province was ruled by Gediminids Landlords Zbarazky.

The castle is known for being the seat of the Ukrainian aristocratic Wiśniowiecki family and its prominent members, most notably Jeremi Wiśniowiecki.
