From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Castles of Ternopil Oblast (Ukrainian: Національний заповідник «Замки Тернопілля», romanized: Natsionalnyi zapovidnyk "Zamky Ternopillia") is a National Architecture-Historical Reserve located in Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine. The reserve is based in Zbarazh since its formation in 2005 based on a smaller regional reserve that had existed since 1994.[1]
The reserve contains a number of castles, most of which are in ruins.[1][2]
- Zbarazh Castle (17th century), which also functions as a museum and houses over 35 exposition halls.
- Vyshnivets Castle (15th–16th centuries)
- Skalat Castle (17th century)
- Terebovlia Castle (17th century)
- Chortkiv Castle (17th century)
- Pidzamochok Castle (16th–17th centuries)
- Zolotyi Potik Castle (16th–17th centuries)
- Kryvche Castle (17th century)
- Yazlovets Castle (14th–17th centuries)
- Skala-Podilska Castle (16th–18th centuries)
- Mykulyntsi Castle (16th century)
Church of the Transfiguration in Zaluzhzhia is also part of the reserve, although the land on which it is located belongs to the Zbarazh City Council. The reserve has made attempts to acquire the territory for permanent use on November 2024, February 2025, and March 2025 to ensure the territory's protection and later create an ethnographic museum on the site.[3]
