Chortoryisk

Chortoryisk stands on the Styr where the Kormyn joins it, amid the waterways of Volhynian Polesia. The chronicle mentions the town in 1100, when it was granted to Prince Davyd Ihorovych. It later gave its name to the Czartoryski princely family. In 1639 Andrzej Leszczyński founded a Dominican monastery here; the town passed to the Radziwiłł family in 1725, and they built a Rococo residence.
