Mikulnitsi

Map (49.397411, 25.607916)

A little town just south of Ternopil. Here you can find a decaying old castle along with a nice palace and a huge beautiful Catholic Church.

The Palace was originally built by the Potocki Family in 1760’s because the castle that is here was by then in so bad ruins they didn’t want to bother to renovate it. Then the Potocki family needed a nice church so they had the church built just in front of the palace so they had a place to send their prayers to heaven. The palace later became a sanitorium but today it is a hospital. We were able to go into the entrance of the palace but no further. All in all it’s a nice little town not to far from Ternopil that is a little off the beaten path for most travelers.
