Description

  • Sidorovsky Castle is a defensive structure, the name of which was given by its place - the village of Sidorov.
  • In the photos that are today, you can find only one tower, but initially there were 7 of them.

Sidorovsky Castle is a defensive structure, the name of which was given by its place - the village of Sidorov. The castle stands on a high hill and is surrounded on three sides by a river. The materials of which it is built - sandstone and limestone.

In the photos that are today, you can find only one tower, but initially there were 7 of them. Its shape extends from north to south at a distance of 178 meters. It turns out a funny ratio - in the direction from west to east - only 30 meters.

At the moment, nothing is left from the southwestern part of the castle. Only the northern one with the watchtower and walls going from both sides of it has been preserved. And in a dilapidated state, the southern half-round two-tier bastion with an arched entrance and buttresses.

The history of Sidorovsky castle is directly connected with the Kalinovskys' family coat of arms of Kalinov. Their family castle appeared in Sidorov, which hetman Martin Kalinovsky ordered to build here in 1640, on an island formed by the Sudedel and Slobodka rivers.

In 1672, the Turks took it, but a year later the crown troops won their back. The next 3 years in the castle was commandant Jan-Samuel Khrzanowski. When he left the castle, the Turks again did not keep them waiting. And after their next coming the castle began to collapse decently. But the Kalinovsky family continued to fight for their family estate anyway. Later, the castle was rebuilt on the initiative of another Martin Kalinowski of their kind. Thanks to him, a church of unusual architecture appeared in which both Martins were buried at the end of their lives.
