Okopy Castle, Baroque fortress in Okopy, Ukraine
The stone walls of Okopy Castle extend along strategic positions near the Dniester and Zbruch rivers, forming a triangular defensive structure with bastions.
Dutch architect Tylman van Gameren designed this military stronghold in the late 17th century as part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth defense network.
The fortress name, Okopy Świętej Trójcy, translates to Holy Trinity Fort, reflecting the religious influences in military architecture of that period.
Visitors can reach the fortress ruins by taking a regional bus from Ternopil to Okopy village and walking 500 meters north to the site entrance.
The fortress maintained its original triangular layout with two rivers serving as natural moats, while the third side featured a deep defensive trench.
