On the very edge of the Lvosk region, less than 10 kilometers from the Ukrainian-Polish border, is the ancient village of Dobromil. The first mention of a settlement in these places dates back to 1374. It was then that Prince Vladislav of Opolsky granted the Herburt family lands along the banks of the Vyrva and Strvyazh rivers, among which was Dobromil. In 1450 Nikolay Herburt built a wooden castle on the Slepaya Mountain near Dobromil. Around the castle there is a new settlement, called Ternava. In 1497, during the Tatar invasion, the castle, along with the settlements of Dobromil and Ternava, was destroyed.

However, after a short time, the settlements quickly rose from the ruins. Over the next hundred years, Dobromil rapidly developed. Merchants and artisans moved here. Weavers from Moravia set up the production of high-quality cloth. For him, as well as for local salt, merchants from Hungary and Silesia came to Dobromil.
The next owner from the Herburt family, Jan Herburt, on the site of the former wooden castle, began the construction of stone fortifications, which have partially survived to this day. The shape of the castle resembled a horseshoe. On three sides it was surrounded by stone walls with towers.

Since 1622, Dobromil passes to new owners - the Polish magnates Konetspolsky. They rebuild the castle, using brick instead of stone for construction. This was the last refurbishment of the castle. After the reconstruction, the castle became smaller. The corner towers are gone. Only the gate tower was left, on which, above the entrance gate, the family coat of arms of the Koniecpolskys and the letters SHKL were carved - Stanislav Herburt, a castellan of Lvov.

Unfortunately, only the frame framing the coat of arms has survived to this day. Today the castle is a picturesque ruin, almost completely overgrown with trees. That is why, even looking at the castle hill, you will not see its walls.
To get to the castle, you need to find a cemetery in Ternava, which can be done by interviewing the local population or by carefully studying the General Staff map where it is indicated, and in front of it, turn off the asphalt to the right onto a decent dirt road, passing in dry weather by all types of transport. This primer will take you to the foot of the castle hill and further, meandering like a serpentine, it begins to climb the mountainside, gradually becoming steeper and narrower. Next, you need to leave the car and go on foot. After 100 meters of a steep climb, you will see the gates of the castle.
