Bastion of Doroshenko

The stone fortification stands on Castle Hill, featuring thick walls and strategic positions designed for military defense against potential invasions.

Built during the 17th century under Hetman Petro Doroshenko's direction, the bastion formed part of Chyhyryn's defenses during the Cossack Hetmanate period.

The bastion represents Ukrainian military engineering and serves as a physical connection to the period when Chyhyryn was the capital of the Cossack state.

Visitors can access the reconstructed bastion throughout the year and examine the architectural features that demonstrate historical defense techniques.

The 2009 reconstruction preserved specific architectural elements from the original structure while incorporating traditional building methods from the 17th century.
