Castle / fortress
Byelovska fortress (Bielovska) in present-day Krasnohrad is the central fortification of the Ukrainian defense line.
A chain of fortifications between the Dnipro and Siverskyi Donets to protect the southern borders of the Russian Empire from the attacks of the Crimean Tatars was created in 1731-1733. The line played the role of a dividing line between the free lands of Zaporizhzhia Sich and Hetman Ukraine under the control of the Russian tsars. The author of the project of 16 fortresses of the Ukrainian Defense Line was General Weissbach.
The Byelovska fortress on the banks of the Berestova River was named after the garrison stationed in it - the Byelovsky infantry regiment. There was also the administration of the fortresses, which soon turned into the administrative center of the entire district.
Two northern bastions, a rampart and a moat are partially preserved. A memorial sign has been installed on the northwestern bastion.
