Medzhybizh Fortress, Medieval fortress in Medzhybizh, Ukraine.

The stone fortress stands at the meeting point of Southern Bug and Buzhok rivers, featuring four defensive towers with walls reaching four meters in thickness.

The castle, first documented in 1146, underwent transformation from a wooden structure to a stone fortification during the 14th century under Lithuanian control.

The fortress grounds contain Saint Stanislaw church, which served as a chapel, mosque, and Orthodox church throughout different historical periods.

Visitors can reach the fortress by taking public transport or taxi from Khmelnytskyi city, located 25 kilometers from the historical monument.

The castle houses both a historical museum and a Holodomor museum, presenting exhibits about regional history and the Ukrainian famine period.
