Ruins of Kyzy-Kermen Fortress
Castle / fortress
The Kyzy-Kermen fortress (Kazy-Kermen) was built by the Turks at the end of the 15th century on the banks of the Dnipro, on the site of the Lithuanian "Vitovt Customs" they captured.
It served as an outpost for raids on Ukrainian lands, as well as for countering the Zaporizhzhian Cossacks, who from time to time made expeditions on seagulls down the Dnipro. During the Crimean campaign of 1689, the Russian-Ukrainian army of Prince Vasyl Holitsyn besieged the fortress, but it was only managed to take it in 1695 by the Cossacks of Ivan Mazepa.
Fragments of the fortress with traces of later modifications have been preserved on the river bank.

The ancient Cossack Holy Introduction Church in Beryslav is the only wooden church in the Kherson region, an architectural monument of the 18th century.
It was built of oak in 1725 in the Zaporizhzhia fortress of Perevalochna (now the village of Svitlohirske near the confluence of the Vorskla River with the Dnipro), and was originally called Holy Resurrection Church. In 1784, the temple was transported by rafts down the Dnipro River to Beryslav.
During the Soviet rule, the Holy Introduction Church was closed for a short period from 1939 to 1941. The Gospel of 1695 is kept here.
