Baturyn fortress

The fortress features thick stone walls, defensive towers, and a wooden citadel positioned strategically along the banks of the Seim River.

The citadel served as the residence of several Ukrainian Hetmans from 1669 to 1708, until Russian forces under Peter I destroyed it during the Great Northern War.

The fortress complex includes museums displaying Cossack artifacts, traditional weapons, and period furniture that represents the military and administrative center of Ukraine.

Visitors can explore the fortress grounds daily from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the museum administration.

Archaeological research since 1996 has uncovered original foundations and artifacts, making it Ukraine's first open-air archaeological park reconstructed at its original location.
