Stare Selo Castle, Medieval fortress in Stare Selo, Ukraine
The stone fortress features 15-meter high walls measuring 2 meters in thickness, with three preserved towers and a ceremonial gate on the south side.
Built between 1584 and 1589 to protect southeastern routes to Lviv from Crimean Tatar raids, the castle underwent major renovations from 1642 to 1654.
The castle represents East European Late Renaissance military architecture, commissioned by Prince Władysław Dominik Zasławski of the wealthy Ostrogski family.
Located 27 kilometers southeast of Lviv, the castle remains open for visitors interested in exploring medieval Ukrainian fortification architecture.
The pentagonal fortress successfully resisted a Turkish siege in 1674, despite its gradual decline after Prince Zasławski's death in 1656.
