General information about Starokostiantyniv Princes Ostrozky Castle (Starokostiantyniv)

The picturesque Starokostiantyniv Castle at the confluence of the Ikopot River with the Sluch was built in 1561 by Volyn Prince Vasyl-Kostyantyn Ostrozky to protect the region from the Tatars (the "Black Path" of Tatar raids passed here).
