Abstract

The article is devoted to the unknown plan of the Halych castle created by Antonii Heegerstein between 1789 and the beginning of 1795. It was traditionally considered that the author had outlined just one plan of the castle with an image of the profile and the remnants of the old fortifications on the Castle Hill. The drawing revealed in the State Archive in Krakow, allows to state that Antonii Heegerstein had created two plans of the fortification. The second one has just a drawing of the castle buildings and fortresses contours, without the castle’s profile and relief of the Castle Hill. Article’s author suggests that this drawing was created the first and was the basis for the next broader plan of the castle.
