Forts of Lysa Hora, Military fortification in Holosiiv Raion, Ukraine
The Forts of Lysa Hora consist of a main rampart, two bastions, and a half-bastion with eight brick tunnels extending 40 meters into the structure.
General Eduard Totleben designed these defensive fortifications between 1871 and 1877 as part of the modernization program for the Kyiv Fortress complex.
The area contains a four-faced statue of Perun surrounded by four fire pits and gates that resemble Shinto torii structures.
Visitors can access the fort through the main entrance near Vydubychi railway station or through additional entry points along Nauky Avenue near the meteorological station.
The fort walls preserve inscriptions left by soldiers who served at this location since the 1880s, documenting generations of military presence.
