Kodak Fortress

For a day out you could track the Dnieper River for about 20 minutes down to the remnants of a 17th-century Polish stronghold. The star-shaped artillery fortress was raised in 1635 and only existed for 80 years, but in that time witnessed an unbelievable amount of violence between the Poles and Cossacks. The very year it was completed some 200 German mercenaries fighting with the Poles were put to death by the Cossacks. The fortress was decommissioned and torn down in 1711 after the Treaty of the Pruth. Later it was used as a quarry, but the natural, riverside setting, earthworks, information panels and obelisk give a sense of what came before.

Nice place to take a walk.

One of the most important historical places of Dnipro city. The fortress of Kodak was built as a most southern stronghold of Poland in the beginning of 17th century. Thereafter it was captured and used by Cossacks and finally destroyed by Russian empire. Far more lately, the Soviet Union created a granite quarry right on this historical place using its well-known barbarian style. Even though the fortress was mostly destroyed, you'll find there shaft residuals and really picturesque view. Highly recommended.

A nice and picturesque place to have a walk

Nice views, not to far from the city
