  • Analysis of Military Landscapes in Lviv Region (Ukraine)

Chayka1 1National University “Lviv Polytechnic” 12 Stepana Bandera St., Lviv, 79000, Ukraine 2Public Higher Educational Establishment "Vinnytsia Academy of Continuing Education" 13 Hrushevskyi St., Vinnytsia, 21050, Ukraine, 3Vinnytsia National Agrarian University, 3 Soniachna st., Vinnytsia, 21008, Ukraine *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] Received: 19.11.2020. Accepted 21.12.2020 The article analyzes the military landscapes, and a special role is given to the monuments of the military group of Lviv region. The role and significance of military landscapes in the formation of the historical and cultural heritage of Ukraine, which reflects the peculiarities of the formation of modern natural conditions of its specific regions, are considered. A chronological table is formed, their classification according to the time of origin, formation and origin of military landscapes of Lviv region. Key words: military landscapes; fortifications; natural landscapes; defensive towers; defensive shafts; mounds; wall; Lviv region. Introduction Military landscapes include complexes of military origin - ancient fortified settlements and fortresses, ditches and ramparts, mounds and more. Over time, the number of landscapes of military origin becomes smaller, which gives fewer opportunities to study their impact on nature and assess their historical value (Antonyuk, 2010). It is in Ukraine that the densest network of long-term border fortifications (SFS) built between the First and Second World Wars, known as the “Stalin Line” (old border) and the “Molotov Line” (new border), has been preserved.

  • Reading the History of Bastion Castles in Galicia (Eastern Europe) Using the Friedrich Von Mieg Map
    This paper is part of the Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Defence Sites: Heritage and Future (DSHF 2016) www.witconferences.com Reading the history of bastion castles in Galicia (Eastern Europe) using the Friedrich von Mieg map O. Tikhonova Faculty of Architecture, Lisbon Technical University, Portugal Abstract The purpose of this research is to show the usefulness of cartographic materials in research, namely cadaster maps; in particular for studying landscape architecture, settlements planning, and localization of military objects on the territory. Primary attention in this paper is paid to Map of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria as a part of cadaster maps made in the First Military Survey in 1763–1787 by Officer Friedrich von Mieg. The maps are serviceable for studying military architecture because the author, Friedrich von Mieg, gave particular attention to locating military objects during the map’s creation. The author of the research used this map to establish the position of bastion castles and their quantity in the territory of Galicia (the historical and geographic region in Eastern Europe). The nucleus of historical Galicia lies within the modern parts of Poland (Lesser Voivodeship, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, and Silesian Voivodeship) and western part of Ukraine (Lviv, Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk region). At the end, the researcher has defined 39 bastion castles on the territory understudying. Besides, the scholar has found 40 unspecified castles that need further investigation because it was hard to identify exactly their type using the map. These results will help the author undertake deeper research about the history and fate of these castles.
