  A village with a population of about 2,300. Its first written record dates back to 1442. The village was destroyed by the Turks in 1498 and then by the Tatars in 1648. A fortress was built there by Amvrosii Prykhylny for the Ostrozky family in 1584–9, which was renovated in 1642 and 1654 in the late Renaissance style. Its walls (14–16 m high) and three towers are reasonably well preserved until now.
