Любечский детинец, Medieval castle complex in Liubech, Ukraine.
The castle stands on a high hill near the Dnieper River, featuring wooden walls reinforced with clay-filled oak structures and defensive towers.
Built in the late 11th century by Prince Vladimir Monomakh of Chernihiv, the castle hosted the significant Congress of Rus Princes in 1097.
The fortress represented a center of medieval governance, where princes resided and made decisions affecting the development of Kievan Rus.
Archaeological excavations conducted between 1957 and 1960 revealed the layout of the castle, including a three-story palace and a main tower.
The castle defenders used large copper cauldrons filled with boiling water, positioned along the walls to pour on attackers during sieges.
