Zamek w Żytomierzu, Medieval palace in Zhytomyr, Ukraine

The palace stands along the Teteriv River banks, featuring stone fortifications and architectural elements from various historical periods.

Built in 1444 under Polish King Casimir IV Jagiellon, the castle remained one of four unconquered fortifications during the 1482 Crimean Khan invasion.

The palace served as a meeting point for nobility of the Kyiv Voivodeship during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth period.

Visitors can reach the palace location in central Zhytomyr through local bus services and guided tours from the city center.

The fortress survived multiple Tatar attacks in 1469 and 1481, maintaining its defensive capabilities through strategic architectural modifications.
