Zamek w Humaniu, Heritage château in Uman, Ukraine.

The stone fortress stands on elevated ground with two entrance gates, twenty-two cannons positioned along its walls, and defensive towers at strategic points.

The castle, constructed in the 17th century by Walenty Aleksander Kalinowski, underwent multiple sieges and changed ownership between Polish nobility and Cossack forces.

The fortress served as a meeting point between Eastern and Western European architectural traditions, incorporating both Polish defensive features and local building techniques.

The castle grounds remain accessible through guided tours, with visitors entering through the restored northern gate near the center of Uman.

During the 1648 occupation, Cossack forces enhanced the fortification system, creating defensive structures similar to those found at Breda Castle.
