Kobryn Castle, Medieval fortification in Kobryn, Belarus.

The castle complex stands at the confluence of Kobrinka and Mukhavets rivers, featuring both Lower and Upper sections connected by a bridge system.

Built in the 11th century by the heirs of Kiev prince Izyaslav, the castle served as a defensive structure until the 18th century.

The castle inventory from 1597 documents its military capacity with two cannons, five serpentines, and numerous small arms for regional defense.

The remaining foundations of Kobryn Castle can be accessed through the modern road system that replaced the original earth embankments in the 1880s.

The Lower Castle featured a functional mill integrated into one of its five defensive towers, combining military and economic purposes.
