Letychiv Fortress, Medieval fortress in Letychiv, Ukraine.

The fortress complex features limestone walls, including a remaining north-western tower, eastern wall segments, and portions of the southern defensive barrier.

Jan Potocki constructed the fortress in 1598 to protect the Podolia region from persistent raids initiated by the Crimean Tatars.

The Assumption Church, built between 1606 and 1638 in Baroque style, stands within the fortress grounds as a central religious structure.

The remaining structures of the fortress demonstrate the military engineering and construction methods employed during the Renaissance period in Ukraine.

The fortress grounds contain a memorial statue of Ustym Karmaliuk, a regional rebel leader who led uprisings in the early nineteenth century.
