Berezhany is a small town in the Ternopil region. We arrived here early in the morning and went on the Storozhysko mountain to see a view of the city.

In fact, there is no equipped observation deck there and it's not easy to find this place. You need to walk along the prison walls that formerly belonged to Bernardine monastery. By the way, 40 years ago, Victor Yanukovich (former president of Ukraine) was in this prison for robbery!

Then we went for a walk in the old city. Be sure to visit the Market Square, Armenian Street, Shevchenko street and Valova street. In general, the entire old town of Berezhany is a state historical and architectural reserve since 2001.

There is also a castle in Berezhany, however, it's in very bad condition. Was built in 1534-1554 by polish magnate Nikolai Sinyavsky. In the 17th century, it has participated in many battles. Subsequent owners of the castle: Czartoryski (from 1726), Lubomirski (from 1778), Potocki (from 1816) did not care about it and used as a warehouse, and even as a brewery. In the past 100 years, the castle stands in a very poor condition, the walls and towers are constantly being destroyed.

In 2006-2008 restoration works were carried out, although $0.5 million was spent only to save a little the Trinity church inside the castle.
