Reference

It is believed that the history of High Castle in Lviv begins in ancient times. The place was arranged as a defensive fortress, which was the residence of King Lev Danylovych of Rus' - the son of King Danylo Halytskyi. The High Castle monument itself in Lviv was built in the second half of the 14th century.

It was built at the behest of King Casimir III the Great, the last representative of the Polish Piast dynasty. According to official information from the Department of Ecology and Natural Resources, the artificial embankment (Kopets) began to be built in 1869, but the work continued until 1900. The Kopets was created by embankment, but no drainage was installed. Over many years of operation, the embankment gradually collapsed.
