The Siege of Zbarazh occurred on 5 June 1655 when Poland-Lithuania's armies recaptured Zbarazh Fortress from the Swedes amid The Deluge.
After the reconquest of Lublin, Poland's armies moved south to recapture the fortress of Zbarazh on the border with the Zaporizhian Sich. The thinly-manned Swedish garrison took to the walls to contest the Poles' attempts to scale the fortress with ladders, but the numerically superior Poles overwhelmed and annihilated the Swedish defenders. Zbarazh's liberation removed Sweden's threat to southern Poland and confined the Swedes to central and northern Poland and Belarus.
