General information about Fortress Barracks (Kamyanets-Podilskyi)

The large complex of buildings of the barracks of the Kamyanets-Podilskyi fortress looks especially impressive from the opposite side of the Smotrych canyon - from the pedestrian bridge or from the Holy Intercession church in the arboretum.

They were designed to house a military garrison by the commandant of the Kamyanets fortress, Yan de Vitte, and were built at the end of the 18th century by the architect Stanislav Zavadskyi.

From the side of the river, the building looks like a fortress thanks to powerful retaining walls and loophole windows. Russian writer and poet Kostyantyn Batyushkov, Decembrist and hero of Borodino Volodymyr Rayevsky, scientist-lexicographer Volodymyr Dal, writer Mykhaylo Bulhakov served here.

In Soviet times, a tobacco factory was located in the barracks. Now the complex is in an abandoned state.

Великий комплекс будівель казарм Кам'янець-Подільської фортеці особливо ефектно виглядає з протилежного боку каньйону Смотрича – з пішохідного мосту чи від Покровської церкви, що у дендропарку.

Спроєктовані для розміщення військового гарнізону комендантом кам'янецької фортеці Ян де Вітте, збудовані в кінці XVIII сторіччя архітектором Станіславом Завадським.

З боку річки будівля виглядає як фортеця завдяки потужним підпірним стінам та вікнам-бійницям. Тут служили російський письменник і поет Костянтин Батюшков, декабрист та герой Бородіно Володимир Раєвський, учений-лексикограф Володимир Даль, письменник Михайло Булгаков.

За радянських часів у будинках казарм знаходилася тютюнова фабрика. Нині комплекс у занедбаному стані.
