OLESKIJ CASTLE : The first written recollection about Oleskij castle was in 1327, when it became the property of Yurij – a son of mazovetskij prince Rtoiden and a russian princess Mary. Yurij was invited by boyars on Galicia-Volyn prince’s throne after family Romanovychej has disappeared. According to this date a castle was built by one of Galicia – Volyn prince Yurij Lvovych sons – Andrew or Leo.

PIDGORETSKIJ CASTLE was built in the 17th century by a French engineer Boplan, and a three-storeyed palace was built by an Italian Del Aqua. That castle looks like a palace than a fortress and make a contrast with strong military fortposts of Podillia. At first it was mentioned in Brodskij acts in Batiev in the village Pidgirtsy. Maybe it is the name of a mounting on a Pidgoretskij hill.
