Starokostiantyniv Castle, Renaissance fortress in Starokostiantyniv, Ukraine

The castle stands at the confluence of the Sluch and Ikopot rivers, featuring five towers and an eight-story wooden watchtower within its defensive walls.

Prince Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski constructed the castle during the 1560s as a strategic fortification to protect the region from Ottoman and Tatar invasions.

The restored Trinity Church within the castle walls contains preserved 16th-century frescoes, including the original coat of arms of Prince Vasyl-Kostyantyn Ostrozky.

The castle welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with guided tours available through the historical and cultural center-museum Old Kostiantyniv.

The fortress remained unconquered since 1575, successfully repelling a massive attack by 30,000 Tatar forces in 1618.
