Ikazń Castle, Medieval castle in Ikazń, Belarus.
The castle stands on an island within Lake Ikazń, featuring remnants of defensive structures and medieval architectural elements from its original construction period.
Founded in 1504 by Iwan Semenowicz Sapieha, the castle served as both a military stronghold and residential complex during the complex political landscape of medieval Belarus.
The castle represents a significant element of Belarusian architectural heritage, demonstrating the building techniques and fortification methods of the early 16th century.
Visitors can access the castle ruins by following marked paths from the village of Ikazń, located in the Braslaw district of the Vitebsk region.
The castle's position on an island creates a natural moat system, which enhanced its defensive capabilities while providing strategic control over the surrounding waterways.
