Kodak Fortress

Historic area , Castle / fortress

The remains of the ramparts of the Polish fortress Kodak are located in a picturesque place on the high bank of the Dnipro in the village of Stari Kodaky on the southern edge of the Dnipro.

The Kodak Fortress was built by the French engineer Levasser de Boplan on the orders of the Polish King Vladyslav IV to control the Zaporizhzhians Cossacks. It was captured twice by Zaporizhzhian troops (in 1910, on the initiative of historian Dmytro Yavornytskyi, an obelisk was erected in honor of the capture of the fortress in 1648). Later, Katerynoslav (Dnipro) was founded nearby, a little further north, by Prince Hrihoriy Potomkin.

Soon the Kodak Fortress lost its importance, and in 1944 it was almost completely destroyed by a granite quarry.
