Kinburn Fortress

Castle / fortress

The Turkish fortress of Kinburn was built in the 15th century on the Kinburn spit at the mouth of the Dnipro.

In 1736, it was captured and destroyed by the Russian detachment of General Leontiev, but rebuilt by the Turks. According to the Kyuchuk-Kainardzhii peace treaty in 1774, the Kinburn fortress went to Russia. In 1787, during the Second Russo-Turkish War, a Turkish landing force of janissaries trying to take over Kinburn's fortifications was completely defeated by the garrison under the leadership of Oleksandr Suvorov, which allowed the Russians to soon capture the Turkish fortress of Ochakiv. The Ukrainian Cossacks of the Black Sea Flotilla took an active part in this battle.

In October 1855, the Kinburn fortress was attacked by the Anglo-French fleet, surrendered and has not been restored since then.

Earthen ramparts and a ditch crossing the spit from north to south to the west of the village of Pokrovske have been preserved.
