The area of Borshchiv Raion was merged into Chortkiv Raion.In addition to all of the new content, we also want to provide more information on updates to MWII in patch notes here. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ternopil Oblast to three. Until 18 July 2020, Okopy belonged to Borshchiv Raion. The name of the fortress was popularized in Poland by Zygmunt Krasiński's usage of it in his drama Nie-Boska komedia ( The Un-divine Comedy,1835). The ruins of the stronghold can be found in the western part of the village. The village was renamed "Okopy" and was turned into a Kolkhoz, and soon totally depopulated, as a result of the forced migration of Poles to Siberia. It became a holidays center for the inhabitants of the nearby cities of Ternopil, and Lviv.Īfter the World War II, the site was annexed by the Soviet Union. In the interbellum, the village was known for its wineries and peach orchards. The 14th battalion of the Border Defence Corps were stationed there. The remaining parts of the stronghold (both gates, one of the forts, the ruins of the Holy Trinity church and parts of the walls) were partially restored in 1905 by count Mieczysław Dunin-Borkowski.Īfter the Polish-Bolshevik War of 1920, the site was made part of Poland, in the Tarnopol Voivodship, near the Polish border with the Soviet Union and Romania. Most of the houses that were built were made from the stones that had been used to construct the earlier defensive walls. The nearby town was abandoned, and the inhabitants of the village moved inside the fortress walls. The defence was commanded by the future Hero of the American Revolutionary War, Kazimierz Pułaski.Īfter the Partitions of Poland in 1772, the village and the ruins of the stronghold became the easternmost point of Austrian Galicia. In 1769, the Bar Confederacy, defended the stronghold against the besieging forces of Russia. The stronghold was abandoned in 1699, when the rest of Podolia was returned to Poland, and the fortress lost its importance as a counterbalance to Kamieniec Podolski. Israel ben Eliezer, a Jewish mystical rabbi and the founder of the Hasidic Jewish movement, was born in Okopy in 1698 (although he later lived in nearby Tluste). In 1693 Jan III Sobieski built a votive church in the compound. The construction was started under the command of the General of Horse Artillery, Marcin Katski, and the works were finished in the same year. Other directions were defended by towered walls and natural escarpments over the river banks, with walls stretching along both sides of isthmus on the edge of steep slope to the river. Tylman of Gameren decided to build a double line of fortifications (two rampart lines of bastion system) with two gates leading east- ( Kamieniec Gate) and westwards ( Lwów Gate). The site is a natural fortress: a small strip of high rocks linking the Zbruch and Dnister rivers. The fortress was expanded by Tylman of Gameren, one of the most notable Polish architects of the time. The site was chosen by King Jan III Sobieski of Poland, as a measure to stop a possible attack from the nearby Turkish-seized fortresses of Kamieniec Podolski, twenty kilometers away, and Chocim, eight kilometers away. The stronghold and the neighbouring town were built in 1692, by Stanisław Jan Jabłonowski, Grand Hetman of the Crown. The settlement was previously referred to as Okopy Svyatoyi Triytsi (Ukrainian: Окопи Святої Трійці Polish: Okopy Świętej Trójcy Russian: Окопы Святой Троицы), translated as the Ramparts of the Holy Trinity. The current estimated population is around 557 (as of 2005). It belongs to Melnytsia-Podilska settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. It is located in Chortkiv Raion ( district) of Ternopil Oblast ( province), and had its origins as a Polish fortress at the meeting of the Zbruch and Dniester rivers. Okopy ( Ukrainian: Окопи) is a selo in western Ukraine. Decoration of a church in Okopy showing the coats of arms of Poland and Lithuania.
