The remains of the Mykytyn Fortress

The remains of the Mykytyn Fortress

Each side of this giant square was reinforced with bastions, wedges pushed forward.

According to the hypothesis of local lore, the Mykytyn Fortress was named in honor of the President of the Military Collegium Mykyta Trubetskoi. Inside the fortress, there were stone houses and barracks. Their foundations are still visible today. Powder pits are clearly visible in the southeastern part of the fortification.

For the entire period of existence, the Mykytyn Fortress has never taken part in hostilities. Of all the fortresses of the Dnipro fortification line, it is best preserved.
