Olesko Castle

Moving from east to west, the tour begins with a magnificent castle in Olesko.
The mention of the castle dates back to 1327. Just imagine how many things the castle walls have seen, how many secrets they hide… Over the course of history, the appearance of the ancient walls has been changing due to the numerous destructions made by enemies and reformations made by the owners of the castle. According to legend, the owner of the castle found a treasure in one of the rooms walled-in within the walls and was so glad that in the heat of passion he almost destroyed the castle, breaking the walls in the search of new treasures.
By the way, Polish kings were born in Olesko Castle… but our guides will tell you about it in great depth…
The present appearance of the castle was acquired in the seventeenth century. It has been renovated and today hospitably opens its doors for tourists. A branch of the Lviv Art Gallery is also available to attend here .

Pidhirtsi Castle

Moving across the short crossing we enter the territory of the so-called Polish Versailles. This castle was chosen as the Louvre for the shooting of the well-known movie D’artagnan and the Three Musketeers.
At one time, the castle was called one of the best palace and castle complexes in Europe. It still impresses with its grandeur: incredible panorama from the terrace, majestic chapel and inimitable garden.
We end our trip to the medieval castle in Zolochiv. The castle with its unique Chinese Palace, numbering only three in Europe, is strikingly beautiful. Beauty and nothing else…
