Medzhybizh Castle, 1900-1905
The majestic castle at the confluence of the Buzhok River and the Southern Bug, where the ancient Russian city of Mezhybizh stood in the 11th-13th centuries, was begun to be built in 1362 by the Koriatovich princes (Koryatovichi), who received these lands from the Grand Duke of Lithuania Olgerd. Medzhybizh Castle became an outpost on the eastern border of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, then Poland. In the 15th-16th centuries, it successfully repelled Tatar attacks. In 1540, the castle passed into the possession of the noble family of Russian voivodes Sieniawski, who rebuilt it and fortified it with corner towers. An exquisite palace and a Gothic chapel were built on the territory, which was later rebuilt in the Baroque style. A small garrison and palace servants occupied the service premises. The Czartoryski princes added even more luxury to the architecture in the 18th century. The castle has survived to this day in fairly good condition, although it was damaged during two world wars. The five-sided Knight's Tower with an observation deck, the castle church, the carriage row and the barracks, which house the museum exhibits of the Medzhybizh State Historical and Cultural Reserve, have been restored.
