The best view of the Moldavian fortress of Soroky opens from the opposite bank of the Dniester, from the outskirts of the Ukrainian village of Tsekynivka.
The Soroky fortress was founded in 1499 by the Moldavian master Stefan the Great, and rebuilt in stone in 1543-1546. The round fortification structure with five towers has a symmetrical shape.
The fortress of Soroky controlled the river trade route that ran through the Dniester and resisted the raids of the Tatars. From the Ukrainian bank of the Dniester, the castle in Soroky looks particularly convincing, although it does not give the impression of being impregnable.
