Zolotyy Potik Castle, Renaissance castle in Zolotyi Potik, Ukraine.

The castle features three remaining hexagonal towers with loopholes, thick defensive walls measuring 5 meters high, and a three-tier entry tower on its northeastern facade.

Stefan Potocki and Maria Mohylanka constructed the castle between 1568 and 1631 under Polish King Sigismund III Vasa's reign as a strategic military fortification.

The castle entrance displays the Potocki family coat of arms, representing the noble Polish lineage that controlled this territory during the Renaissance period.

The castle grounds currently house workshops and remain accessible through the management of the Castles of Ternopil Oblast National Reserve.

A well in the castle courtyard inspired the name Zolotyi Potik when defenders discovered a water spring during a siege, naming it 'golden' for its value.
