Resting on the banks of Dniester River and the gorgeous green fields of Khotyn is the enigmatic Khotyn Fortress.

Built on the site of a previous fort, the structure that stands here today was largely built in the early 14th century.

However many additions and renovations were carried out here in the late 14th and 15th centuries.

From its beginnings as a medieval fort to the present day fortress, its ownership fell into the hands of several different empires and various countries.
