In this article we try to reconstruct the planning structures of town of Dobromil in Rus` (Rythenia) province of Kingdom of Poland at the time of 17th century. Dobromil (ukr. Dobromyl) was the main private city of Herburt family in the valley of the river Strvyazh in the Sambir district. We perform attempts of a hypothetical planning reconstruction of this city on the basis of an analysis of a number of historical maps of the late 18th and 19th centuries. The city of Dobromyl also has the peculiarity that Herburts founded two castles here – the High Castle at a certain distance from the city and the Low Castle near the midtown. Jan Herburt from Felshtyn became famous for founding a printing house in Dobromyl, where significant written historical works were first printed in 1611-1616 – a chronicle of Poland by Jan Długosz and letters by Orżechowski.
An important material for the hypothetical reconstruction of city layouts and city fortifications was the hand-drawn map by d'Otto from 1772, the map by F. von Mieg from the 1779-1781, cadastral maps from the 1852, and 1853, maps from 1860-1864 of the Second cartographic survey of Galicia.
