Yaniv Castle (Ukrainian: Янівський замок) is a located in Dolyna, Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine. The stronghold was built in the 17th century on a sloping[1] hill[2] by Jan Golski, Voivode of Podolia and Castellan of Halych,[1] brother of Stanisław Golski, Voivode of Rus, and an architectural monument of national importance.[3][4]

History

[edit]

In 1675, the castle was captured and destroyed by the Turks. Later it was not rebuilt.[2] Subsequently, the stronghold was in the possession of the Bogusz family, which built a saltpeter factory at the foot of the castle.[1][3]

Architecture

[edit]

The defensive castle was built on a rectangular plan, on the north side of the peninsula, the only one that led to the village.[1] It was a stone structure having: a dwelling, a chapel, and round and square towers, surrounded by a wall,[2] which, damaged in several places later, also protected the church. The castle's corners were fortified with towers, of which two are best preserved: a quadrilateral and cylindrical one on the north side, converted into the parish priest's cellar. Its preserved remains by the thickness of the walls testify to the castle's former fortress.[1] The Roman Catholic Church standing among the ruins[1] is probably a converted castle chapel.[2]
