General information about Zaslav Gate (Mezhyrich)

Zaslav (Izyaslav) gate is the only surviving stone element of the outer defensive fortifications of medieval Mezhyrich.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, the defensive Holy Trinity Monastery was the citadel of the Mezhyrich fortress. Its defensive ramparts were organically united and incorporated into the system of earthen fortifications of the village itself. Then earthen ramparts with hexagonal bastions placed at the corners of the ramparts were built around Mezhyrich. You could get to Mezhyrichthrough two gates: the Zaslav Gate on the road to Izyaslav (former Zaslav), which has survived to this day, and the Dubno Gate, which was located where the center of the village is now.

Заславська (Ізяславська) брама - єдиний кам'яний елемент зовнішніх оборонних укріплень середньовічного Межирича, що зберігся.

У XVI-XVII століттях оборонний Свято-Троїцький монастир був цитаделлю Межирічської фортеці. Його оборонні вали були органічно об'єднані та вписані в систему земляних укріплень самого села. Тоді навколо Межиріча звели земляні вали з шестигранними бастіонами поставленими по кутках валу. У Межиріч можна було потрапити через дві проїзні брами: Заславську браму по дорозі на Ізяслав (колишній Заслав), яка збереглася досі, і Дубенську браму, яка знаходилася там, де зараз центр села.
