Brody Castle
Castle / fortress
A powerful citadel was built in Brody by Crown Hetman Stanislav Konetspolsky in 1630-1635 on the site of the old castle.
The complex with a defensive rampart and a system of casemates in the shape of an octagon was designed by Hiyom de Boplan based on the bastions of Dutch and Italian fortresses. The construction work was supervised by the Italian architect Andrea del Akva. In 1648, the fortress withstood a siege by the troops of Bohdan Khmelnytskyi.
In the middle of the 18th century, Stanislav Potoski reconstructed the fortress, which had lost its strategic importance, into his own residence. The Rococo-style Potoski Palace has been preserved in the courtyard.
Until recently, Brody Castle was in the hands of the military, as a result of which it fell into serious disrepair. Now the palace houses a boarding school, tours of the castle are conducted by employees of the Brody Museum of Local History.
