Ostroh, Historical city in Rivne Oblast, Ukraine
Located on the banks of the Horyn River, Ostroh extends across an area featuring elevated terrain reaching 195 meters above sea level.
The settlement originated in 1100 as a fortress controlled by Volhynian princes, later developing into a significant administrative center of the region.
The Ostroh Academy, established in 1576, marked a milestone in Ukrainian education as the first higher learning institution in the eastern Slavic territories.
