Castle Białym Kamieniu, Medieval castle ruins in Bilyi Kamin, Ukraine.

The castle structure features an elliptical layout measuring 60 by 70 meters with two defensive towers and a gate tower with drawbridge foundations.

The fortress dates back to 1271, when it first appeared in records during an attack by Czech King Přemysl Otakar II on this strategic location.

The castle represents medieval Ukrainian defensive architecture with its dual-tower system and demonstrates regional fortification techniques of the period.

Visitors can explore the remaining sections of the entrance gate, guardhouse, and substantial portions of the surrounding defensive walls among forested hills.

The castle changed ownership multiple times until 1609 when Štefan Ilešházy relocated to a Renaissance palace, leading to its gradual transformation into ruins.
