Armenian Well in Kamianets-Podilskyi, Medieval water well in Kamianets-Podilskyi, Ukraine
The stone water well reaches a depth of 14 meters and features intricate masonry work reflecting the engineering methods of the 16th century.
The Armenian community constructed this hydraulic structure in 1581 during their settlement period in Kamianets-Podilskyi, marking their presence in the region.
The well stands as a reminder of the Armenian quarter, where over one thousand Armenian families contributed to the development of Kamianets-Podilskyi.
Located near the Town Hall, the well provides visitors with insights into historical water management systems and architectural techniques of medieval Ukraine.
Despite the elaborate construction efforts, the well produced salty water instead of fresh water due to the geological composition of the underground layers.
