Castle in Zbaraż - a fortress in the type of palazzo in fortezza in Zbaraż (Nowe Zbaraż). It was built in the years 1620-26, at the request of Jerzy Zbaraski and Krzysztof Zbaraski, and was designed by Henryk van Peene from Flanders.

From 1434, Zbaraż Stary was the seat of a wealthy family of the princes of Zbaraz, who came from the Ruthenian Korybuty. In 1474, Prince Wasyl Nieświcki, unable to defend himself against the Tatars, burned down in the castle with the entire crew. The castle was rebuilt, but in 1589 it was again destroyed by the Tatars. The construction of the new castle began in 1620. The castle, surrounded by earth fortifications, made with the participation of Krzysztof Arciszewski, was unsuccessfully besieged by the Cossacks in 1649. The siege was described by Henryk Sienkiewicz in Ogniem i Mieczem (Ogniem i Mieczem).

During the war with Turkey 1672-1676, in August 1675, the Polish crew repelled two storms of Turkish troops with 30 cannons, after which they were attacked from the inside by peasants who took refuge within its walls. On the condition of saving their lives, on August 2, the peasants surrendered the castle, but the Turks did not keep their promise and slaughtered them all. After taking back the castle, Fr. Dymitr Jerzy Wiśniowiecki repaired the damage.

In 1682, the castle passed into the hands of the Potocki family. Then it was occupied by the Russians in 1707 during the Third Northern War and in 1734 during the War of the Polish Succession. In the 18th century, the castle in ruin still belonged to the Potocki family. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Potocki family sold the Lubomirski castle. General Józef Bem resided in the castle for some time. It was seriously damaged by the Russians in 1914 during World War I.
