Khotyn Fortress is a fortification complex dating back to the 10th century which is located in western Ukraine. It's positioned south-west of Kamianets-Podilskyi on the river banks of the Dniester River in Khotyn, Ukraine, the administrative center of the Khotynskyi Raion within the Chernivtsi Oblast. The fortress originally was a fort called Khotyn Fort and was built in the 10th century by Prince Vladimir Sviatoslavich, also known as "Vladimir I of Kiev" and "Vladimir Svyatoslavich the Great." He was the grand prince of Kiev who converted to Christianity in 988 and baptised the whole Kievan Rus, a medieval state based in the city of Kiev, founded by the Scandinavian traders considered to have been the early predecessors of the Belarusians, Russians, and Ukrainians, which existed from approximately 880 to the mid 13th century. http://ukrainianplace.com/
