Tarakaniv Fort (other names - Fort-zastava Dubno, Dubensky Fort) is a powerful fortress during the confrontation between Russia and Austria-Hungary.
Erected on the Russian-Austrian border in 1890 by order of Tsar Oleksandr III to protect the Lviv railway. The Dubno Fort has a rhombus shape and was a concrete-earth fortification. In the center is a quadrangular two-story barracks. It is surrounded by two rows of powerful earth ramparts, between which a 14-meter ditch with stone walls and casemates has been dug.
However, it is believed that from the point of view of military engineering, the project was unsuccessful. Tarakaniv Fort was not used for its intended purpose. Now it is in a neglected state and is gradually collapsing.
