Zawołocze, Medieval castle ruins in Pustoshkinsky District, Russia.
The stone castle of Zawołocze stands along the ancient route that connected northern territories, featuring defensive walls and watchtowers positioned at strategic points.
Built in 1536 as a fortification, Zawołocze changed territorial control between Russian and Lithuanian forces until its final incorporation into Russia in 1582.
The archaeological excavations at Zawołocze reveal medieval artifacts that demonstrate the trade connections between northern European merchants and Russian territories.
The archaeological site maintains regular opening hours during summer months, with guided tours available through the Pustoshkinsky District Museum upon advance reservation.
The fortress location at the intersection of medieval trade routes made it a key checkpoint for monitoring and taxing merchant caravans traveling between Baltic and Russian lands.
