CASTLE SVIRZH (ЗАМОК ЗАМОК)

It dates from the 15th century. Even if only ruins remain, its visit is strongly recommended, if only for the beauty of the surrounding nature. The castle is indeed built on a hill overlooking a river and a magnificent small lake. Svirzh was originally a fortress built in a rather original and efficient way. But after its reconstruction in the 17th century, the castle's architecture lost all its identity as a fortified castle. Next to the castle is the Renaissance style church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

Svirzh is located 45 km south-east of Lviv. You can reach it by bus from station 5 (Vul. Zelena, direction Peremishlyany-Svirzh, bus every hour) or by car by road H09 and then at Bibrka, turn onto road T14-11.
