== History == Żwaniec, as it was known in Polish, was first mentioned in 1431, when the knight Svychko (or Svichka) received this settlement from Polish King Władysław II Jagiełło. It was established in an unpopulated area in the 15th century. Later on, it passed to the Jazłowiecki, Sroczycki, Koniecpolski and Lanckoroński noble families. Administratively it was located in the Podolian Voivodeship in the Lesser Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. In the 15th century, the Zhvanets Castle was built, which was repeatedly rebuilt in the 16th and 17th centuries and was significantly destroyed during the 20th century.
