Above a picturesque lake, the romantic & mysterious #SvirzhCastle rises. Built by the noble #Swirski family in the 15th CE, a small church c.1546 is inside. Surrounded by moats & swamps, it was rebuilt & fortified in the 17th CE by Count #AleksanderCetner. A hidden #ArchitecturalGem - rarely open to tourists, its stone halls echo of #Tatar raids, organ music & deadly duels.

#PidhirtsiCastle blends the 17th CE #Renaissance grace of a #Palace with military strength. Once a richly furnished & valuable #Baroque #PalaceGarden complex called the “Versailles of Galicia” this #Fortress is now a symbol of faded noble grandeur & part of the #LvivNationalArtGallery. A #GhostStory of a White Lady & ballroom duel surround this #HauntedHouse & #ArchitecturalGem
