Brody Castle, Fortified castle in Brody, Ukraine.

The pentagonal castle complex features five bastions, curtain walls, and octagonal dungeons at its center, surrounded by a deep defensive moat.

Crown Hetman Stanisław Koniecpolski commissioned the castle's construction between 1630 and 1635, with Italian architect Andrea del Aqua supervising the project.

The fortress contained 75 casemates that functioned as military barracks and storage facilities, alongside a wooden chapel and governor's residence.

The castle now operates as an educational facility, with the two-story palace of Stanislaw Potocki remaining as the primary preserved structure.

During the Khmelnytsky Uprising in 1648, the castle maintained its defense against Cossack troops and later served as a base during the Battle of Berestechko.
