Pidhirtsi Castle is probably one of the most famous castles in Ukraine, and its location on the Kyiv-Chop highway makes it one of the most visited places. Guidebooks mostly tell legends about Pidhirtsi Castle. Like that one of its owners walled up his wife in the wall. Or that story which tells that the founder of this castle allegedly died of an overdose of an aphrodisiac. Undoubtedly, all these legends should make Pidhirtsi Castle more popular among tourists, but the real history of the object is actually much more interesting. For a long time, this story was forbidden in the Soviet Union! The real story of Pidhirtsi Castle will be told by Akim Galimov in this project called Ukrainian Palaces. The Golden Age.
