Hubyn Hillfort

Historic area , Archaeological site

The ramparts of the Hubyn chronicled ancient Rus hillfort are located on the high bank of the Sluch River, opposite from the center of the village of Hubyn.

In the 12th and 13th centuries, Hubyn was one of the largest cities of the Bolokhiv Land - an ancient Rus historical region in the upper reaches of the Pivdennyi Buh bordering the Galicia-Volyn and Kyiv principalities. It was destroyed in 1241 by Prince Danylo Halytskyi in revenge for the participation of the Bolokhiv princes in the campaign to Bakota. Since then, the city has not been rebuilt, but a village of the same name arose in its place.

Since 1977, archaeological research has been conducted at the Hubyn hillfort. Many artifacts were found: elements of plows, horseshoes, sticks, stone axes, pendants and other women's jewelry. These are unsurpassed examples of jewelry art of that distant time. One of the most valuable finds is the lead seal of Prince Volodymyr Vsevolodovych of Novhorod, dated 1136.

The finds are exhibited in the Starokostiantyniv Museum of Local History.
