Konetspolsky erected a new castle-fortress on the site of the old fortifications, which became a unique example of the transition from defensive to palace architecture. New owners from the Rzhevussky family in the 18th century. reconstructed the castle in a more luxurious form, collected a collection of valuable paintings, furniture and weapons, erected the church of St. Joseph and the Ascension, reminiscent of the forms of the Roman Cathedral of St. Peter. Built before Versailles and Peterhof, the castle was considered the most beautiful in Europe, it was visited by kings and emperors. The last owner from the Sangushko clan took the museum collection to Brazil. During the German occupation, the palace housed a military hospital, and in Soviet times there was a tuberculosis sanatorium. Restoration is currently underway.

Нові власники з роду Ржевуських в XVIII ст. реконструювали замок в більш розкішному вигляді, зібрали колекцію цінних картин, меблів і зброї, звели навпроти костел св. Йосипа і Вознесіння, що нагадує формами римський собор Св. Петра. Побудований до Версаля і Петропалацу замок вважався найкрасивішим в Європі, його відвідували королі та імператори. Останній господар з роду Сангушків вивіз музейну колекцію в Бразилію. Під час німецької окупації в палаці розміщувався військовий госпіталь, а в радянські часи тут був туберкульозний санаторій. В даний час ведеться реставрація.

Pidhirtsi Castle Museum-Reserve

Palace / manor , Architecture , Museum / gallery

The most beautiful castle of the "Golden Horseshoe of Lviv region", a vivid example of the transition from defensive to palace architecture of noble residences. Built by Italian architect. A. del Aqua and military engineer G. de Boplan (author of the famous "Description of Ukraine" and compiler of the "General Map of Ukraine") for Crown Hetman S. Koniecpolski on the northern outskirts of the ancient Russian Plisne settlement. It was one of the most beautiful palaces in Eastern Europe, embodying the then fashionable type of aristocratic residence, combining luxurious housing with bastion fortifications (so-called palazzo in fortezza). After the Liberation War, Sobieski, who had owned the castle since 1648, restored the palace and decorated the interiors. Grand balls with the participation of European monarchs took place here. Russian Tsar Peter I, who visited here in 1711, took to St. Petersburg several sculptures by Italian masters and soon launched the construction of the Petropalaz. The new owner of Pidhirtsi, V. Rzhevsky, in 1728-79 carried out a large-scale reconstruction of the castle, began to collect a collection of sculptures and paintings, and organized a private theater. In those days Pidhirtsi became famous for "Galician Versailles". The last owners - the princes of Sangushka - turned their residence into a museum, but at the beginning of the First World War they were forced to save the collection. In 1939, R. Sangushko exported a rich collection of works of art to Brazil and created the Sangushko Foundation, which is managed by his descendants. In Soviet times, the palace was looted, the interiors were destroyed by fire, and a tuberculosis sanatorium was placed in the premises. In the Soviet TV series "D" Artanyan and the Three Musketeers "Pidhirtsi Castle played the role of town hall, where a ball was held at the city elders, where the brave Gascon delivered diamond pendants to the queen (many believe it was the Louvre or Versailles). A courtyard with a well, a terrace on bastions, an exhibition of old photographs in casemates, as well as the castle dungeons with the White Lady exposition dedicated to the legend of the ghost of Pidhirtsi Castle are available.
