Kyiv Gate of Hlukhiv city fortifications

Castle / fortress , Architecture , Museum / gallery

The Kyiv gate of the Hlukhiv city fortifications is the only building of the Hlukhiv fortress that has survived, one of the four former entrances to the territory of the old city.

The earthen fortress was founded in 1635 on the site of an ancient Rus settlement by Oleksandr Pisochynskyi, the headman of Novhorod-Siverskyi.

Significantly expanded in 1685. When Hlukhiv became the hetman's residence, the fortress was reconstructed, and in 1766-1769, the Kyiv and Moscow entrance gates were built of stone. However, already at the beginning of the 19th century, according to the city redevelopment project, the fortress was liquidated, the Moscow Gate was dismantled. Apart from the Kyiv Gate, only fragments of the defensive line along Valova Street have survived.

An exposition dedicated to Hlukhiv during the German occupation of 1941-1943 has been opened in the Cardiguardia building (contact the administration of the "Hlukhiv" reserve).
