Staryi Oleksynets
Staryi Oleksynets is a rural village located in the Kremenets Raion of Ternopil Oblast, western Ukraine. Administratively, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Lopushne rural hromada. The settlement is situated at specific geographic coordinates of 49 degrees 50 minutes north latitude and 25 degrees 33 minutes east longitude. Following a nationwide administrative reform in July 2020, which involved the liquidation of previous district structures, the village was officially integrated into the newly defined Kremenets Raion. The area operates on Eastern European Time and utilizes the postal code 47061.
Historical records regarding the site are documented in regional encyclopedias and Polish geographical dictionaries, indicating its presence in archival materials from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While the provided text confirms its status as an established locality with a recorded population of 942 residents as of 2007, it does not contain specific details concerning the construction date, architectural style, or physical remains of a castle structure. The name itself, translating to "Old Oleksynets," suggests a distinction from a nearby newer settlement, hinting at a layered local history that predates modern administrative boundaries.
Today, Staryi Oleksynets functions primarily as a residential village within the Ternopil region. There is no information available in the current source material describing the site as an active tourist attraction, a preserved monument, or a ruin with visible fortifications. Consequently, its contemporary significance lies in its role as part of the local community rather than as a standalone historical landmark. Further research into the cited bibliographic sources would be required to uncover specific narratives about noble families, military conflicts, or architectural evolution associated with any former estate or defensive structure in the area.
