This article aims to give a complete picture of preserved 17th-century bastion castles in the Lviv Region in Ukraine with their current conditions. The results of the study are ready to be picked up by different actors participating in the restoration and conservation interventions for the development of proposals and recommendations for the rehabilitation and prosperity of those cultural monuments. Three of the reviewed castles in the article have not been registered as heritage sites yet and are rarely known among the public; two of them are recently uncovered and visited by the author. Further development of this study can help create proposals for registering unregistered monuments shown in this article, at least on the regional level as heritage.
