Svirzh Castle, also known as the Svirzh Castle-Palace, is a medieval castle located in the Lviv Oblast of western Ukraine. The castle dates back to the 15th century and was originally built as a fortress to defend against Tatar raids.

The castle underwent extensive renovations in the 17th century, adding the palace complex, ramparts, and a moat. During the 19th century, the castle underwent further renovations in a neo-Gothic style.

Today, the castle is a popular tourist attraction and has been restored to showcase the various architectural styles that have been added throughout the centuries. Visitors can explore the castle's many rooms, including the chapel, armory, and dungeons. The castle also hosts cultural and educational events throughout the year.
