Orša Castle, Medieval castle in Orsha, Belarus
The fortress stands at the confluence of the Dnieper and Arshytsa rivers, featuring stone walls and defense structures from the medieval period.
Grand Duke Vytautas established the castle between 1398 and 1407 as part of the defensive network during the Grand Duchy of Lithuania era.
The castle remains showcase the architectural methods of medieval Belarus through its stone foundations, fortified gates, and defensive positioning on elevated ground.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following directional signs from the Orsha railway station, with guided tours available through the local tourism office.
The castle grounds contain remnants of a complex water defense system that utilized both the Dnieper and Arshytsa rivers for protection.
