In the city of #Zhovkva, a Polish 16th CE Military Commander #StanislawZolkiewskia built a #Fortress as a residence & a #Renaissance city quickly grew around it. Its golden age was in the 17th CE when statesman #JakubSobieski inherited & passed it to his son King #JanIIISobieski. Damaged during #WWI, its royal halls & gardens are symbolic of #UkrainianHeritage & its grandeur.

Once home to the noble #Sobieski family, #ZolochivCastle is a 17th CE #Palace #Fortress built by #JakubSobieski between 1634–36. Its refined #Renaissance elegance, secret tunnels & bastions, crown the #Zolochiv hills & the #ChinesePalace, a tiny mauve coloured garden rotunda, sparks royal intrigue. Part of the #LvivNationalArtGallery, it stirs legends & views of #Galicia.
