Pidhirtsi Castle, Renaissance fortress in Pidhirtsi, Ukraine

The castle features a square layout with three floors, surrounded by a deep moat and fortified walls built with brick and stone materials.

Crown Hetman Stanisław Koniecpolski commissioned architects Guillaume Le Vasseur de Beauplan and Andrea dell'Aqua to construct this palace between 1635 and 1640.

Each room in the castle received names based on their decor, including the Green Room, Crimson Room, and Mirror Room, containing collections of art and war artifacts.

The fortress stands at 399 meters above sea level on the Woroniaki hills, providing clear views across the Styr River valley from its northern position.

The castle functioned as both a military stronghold and residential palace, with separate wings designated for official guests and private quarters.
