Borysohlibska Fortress
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Borysohlibska Fortress was built between about 1731–1739 as one of the forts of the Ukrainian line.[1] It is located on the right bank of the river Oril at a distance of 117 fathoms (about 250 meters) from the Dnipro River.
The fortress ramparts and ditches have not been brought into a complete project profile.[2] Small 5 bastions and 2 ravelins are directed toward the river, which formed the stellate outline building. The main gate of the ditch led the bridge. Inside the barracks were placed garrisons, a house commandant powder keg, storeroom, refreshment shop, well, and a little chamber. The next settlement of the Borysohlibskyi regiment formed with respective residential, public and commercial buildings. The Borysohlibska Fortress was abolished in 1784.[3] The area was flooded by the Dniprodzerzhynsk Hydroelectric Power Plant in 1962.
