The Austrian fort in Briukhovychi was built in 1912 on Zyavlenska Hora, at the foot of which passes the road to Lviv.
On the western edge of the mountain there are 4 covered brick galleries with a reinforced concrete floor. Two of them are straight, and two are curved in a quarter circle. Rifle galleries have wide loopholes connected by trenches. At the top of the fort there is a gun shelter. From the east, the complex is protected by earth fortifications.
Fort "Zyavlenska Hora" in Briukhovychi did not take an active part in hostilities. The Russian army during the offensive bypassed the fort from the flanks, and the garrison left it. Later, the fortifications were used during the Ukrainian-Polish war of 1918-1919 and during the defense of Lviv in 1939.
