Gubkiv Castle, Medieval fortress ruins in Rivne Region, Ukraine.

The stone fortress stands on elevated ground above the Sluch River, featuring remaining walls and a preserved southern tower at its highest point.

Originally constructed as a wooden fort between the 10th and 13th centuries, the structure was later fortified with stone and documented in chronicles from 1504.

The fortress holds multiple local legends, including tales of secret tunnels leading to Kniazh Hill and stories of hidden treasures within its ancient vaults.

Visitors can reach the castle by taking trains or buses from Kyiv to Rivne, followed by a connecting bus service to the village of Gubkiv.

The castle grounds form part of the Nadsluchanska Switzerland Regional Park, surrounded by dense forests and lakes in the Rivne Region landscape.
