The fortress castle of Medzhybizh, built as a bulwark against Ottoman expansion in the 1540s, became one of the strongholds of the Kingdom Crown of Poland in Podolia. It is located at the confluence of the Southern Bug and Buzhenka rivers, in the city of Medzhybizh, Ukraine. Today the castle is part of the Historical-Cultural Reserve of the State.
Since 2004, the fortress hosts the historical festival "Old Medzhybizh". On festival days, usually in mid-August, the fortress is full of tourists, knights, archers, princesses and mythical heroes.
