Село Свірж розкинулося на горбистих берегах р. Свірж в 40 км на схід від Львова. Вперше згадується в 1427 році, коли його відвідав польський король Владислав II. Над мальовничим ставком тут височіє середньовічний замок, перші оборонні споруди якого датуються 1482 роком. Укріплення на горі Белз були значно розширені та перетворені на магнатську резиденцію польськими шляхтичами Свіржськими в 1530 році. Завдяки вдалому розташуванню на підвищенні посеред озер і боліт, Свірзький замок неодноразово витримував турецькі облоги, але був захоплений військами Б. Хмельницького. В XVII ст. замок належав графам Цетнерам, які надали йому сучасного вигляду, запросивши інженера П. Гродзіцького. Інша пам'ятка Свіржа - костел Успіння Богородиці (1546 р.).
