Liahavichy Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Liahavičy, Belarus

The stone fortress stood on a hill near the Vedz'ma river, protected by thick walls and a moat controlled through a dam system.

Built by hetman Jan Karol Chodkiewicz in the late 16th century, the castle remained the only fortress in Lithuania that resisted Russian forces during the 1654-1667 war.

The castle's architectural design reflected European military engineering principles of the period, featuring a two-story palace at its center.

The castle site contains archaeological remains that reveal the layout of former defensive structures and the central residential building.

Swedish forces captured the fortress in 1706 after the Radziwiłł family removed its cannons for defending another location.

Location: Liachavičy

Founders: Jan Karol Chodkiewicz
