Brahin

Brahin lies in the wooded lowlands west of the Dnieper, on a river of the same name. It appears in the chronicle in 1147, when it was plundered in a conflict involving the princes of Chernihiv. The settlement later passed into the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and, from the late sixteenth century, belonged to the Wiśniowiecki family. Its old castle occupied the site of the earlier fortified settlement.
