Svirzh Castle, Medieval fortress near Svirzh, Ukraine.
The stone castle stands on elevated ground, featuring white walls, purple roof tiles, and multiple defensive towers surrounding an inner courtyard.
The Świrski noble family established the original structure in the late 15th century, which later underwent major reconstruction under Count Aleksander Cetner's ownership.
The castle includes a small church from 1546 and incorporates Renaissance architectural elements with Gothic defensive features common in Central European fortifications.
The castle remains closed to regular visitors due to funding limitations, though discussions continue regarding its potential reopening as a tourist destination.
The fortress survived multiple attacks by Cossacks and Ottomans, protected by its strategic position among lakes, moats, and marshlands.
