Starokostiantyniv Castle
The StarokostiantynivSluch and Ikopot' rivers by Prince Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski in the 1560s.

The grounds still contain a fortified residence and a small church. The latter is dedicated to the
Holy Trinity and has a single apse. A sacristy building adjoins it from the side of the river. The wall had five towers of which little remains. It used to be encircled by 6-metre-high earthen ramparts and a moat traversed by a drawbridge
