Zamek w Chocimiu

The Chocim Castle is an impressive fortress with a fascinating history dating back to the Middle Ages. Initially a small Ruthenian stronghold, it was later transformed into a stone castle by King Daniel Halitsky and later expanded by the Moldavian hospodar Stefan III the Great.

The site is famous for historic battles, including the famous defense against the Turks in 1621, where 600 hussars defeated some 10,000 enemy soldiers. On the castle grounds you can admire the Bender Gate, the garrison church, the South Tower and historical exhibitions, including reconstructions of torture instruments.
