Hlukhiv Fortress, Military fortress in Hlukhiv, Ukraine
The fortification includes defensive walls, towers, and gates, with the Kyiv Gate from 1766 remaining as the main structural element today.
The fortress played a central role during the 1664 siege when local forces successfully defended against a large Polish army attack.
The fortress walls contained multiple religious structures, including the Church of St. Nicholas built in 1693 and the Transfiguration Church from 1765.
The fortress remains stand in the central area of Hlukhiv, 139 kilometers from Sumy, with several architectural elements visible along the main street.
The name Hlukhiv itself refers to the impregnable nature of the fortress, reflecting its historical role in protecting trade routes between major regions.
