Thor

The Thor fortress stands with stone walls and defensive towers positioned strategically along its perimeter to protect the surrounding territory in eastern Ukraine.

Constructed under the direction of Alexei I of Russia during the 17th century, the fortress served as a central defensive point and administrative center.

The fortress represents the intersection of Ukrainian and Russian military architectural traditions through its construction methods and defensive design elements.

Visitors can reach the fortress by local transportation from Sloviansk city center, with guided tours available during regular opening hours throughout the year.

The fortress maintains its original structural elements, including underground passages and watchtowers that demonstrate 17th-century military engineering techniques.
