The article describes the newfound fragments of polychrome paintings in the upper tiers of the southeastern castle tower in Pomoriany (Pomorzany – in polish). The pictures are found on the outside wall of the tower. The polychrome murals are preserved in fragments. The paintings decorated the plastered walls of the at the top two levels of the tower and can be dated roughly to the 17th century. Another mural fragment, discovered on the outside of the north wall of the castle in Yazlivets, is much smaller, but with more vibrant colors. Such exterior castle walls decorating with polychrome paintings are rare in Ukraine. It is proposed to preserve and conserve these fragments of murals. Remains of polychrome art paintings are also found in other castles – in Zhovkva, Pidhirtsi, Stare Selo.
