Zbarazh Castle, Renaissance castle in Zbarazh, Ukraine
The square-shaped fortress features four pentagonal bastions, surrounded by a water-filled moat and contains a two-story Renaissance palace within its walls.
The castle construction started in 1626 under the Zbaraski family and witnessed the 1649 siege during the Cossack uprising led by Bohdan Khmelnytsky.
The fortress houses a district museum containing 50,000 exhibits including archaeological finds, ethnographic items, and sacred art from the region.
The castle museum opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with guided tours available in Ukrainian and English through prior arrangement.
The dungeons contain a collection of medieval torture instruments dating from the Inquisition period, displayed in their original underground chambers.
