Wonderful place with medieval spirit.
You can walk around for a very symbolic price. For an additional price (which is small too) we were invited to climb the tower and enjoy the view.

The castle is nice and all but the administration should have combined fees for all the exhibitions in the enterence. You pay 50 uah at the first gate but every step of yours costs extra after that. I could have paid to see all the exhibitions but I .. Read more »didn't just because I was annoyed by the system.

Everything was closed off. You can only walk around on the outside and go into the shop to buy candles, cups, plates or magnets. You pay to actually get to see something but you don't see much. Not really worth spending money to just see the out.. Read more »side.

To date, only ancient chronicles indicate that the stone walls were formerly made of wood, which also successfully deterred the enemy. In 1331, the son of the Lithuanian prince Lubart married Agrippina, the daughter of the ruler of the Galicia-Volyn.. Read more » principality. He accepted the Orthodox faith and in 1340 ascended the throne. It was he who ordered the construction of stone walls instead of wooden ones. 1340 is considered the year of foundation of Lutsk Castle. Its construction was carried out of brick. In addition, a dam was built on the river Styr, which raised the water level around the fortress. In 1366 the city was captured by Polish troops and since then Lutsk has become not only the permanent residence of the prince, but also the capital of the principality.
The reliability of the fortress was well known in European countries. Not surprisingly, it was here, in the Upper Castle in Lutsk, that the Congress of Monarchs of 1429 was held. By today's standards, that convention can be equated to a G-8 meeting. 15,000 people came to Luchesk (Lutsk) to discuss the most pressing political and economic problems.
Lubart's castle, as its locals called it, will withstand more than one assault and more than one siege. Tatars and Poles tried to capture Lutsk. However, over time, due to the fact that money for the maintenance of fortress buildings was stolen by officials, the castle, as a defensive structure, fell into disrepair. This led to the fact that in 1595 the army of Severin Nalyvayko captured the fortress city, receiving a large contribution from the townspeople.
After that, Lutsk Castle finally lost its fortification function. Now it served only to house the administration and the courts, of which there were five: the city, zemstvo, sub-chamber, hood and Lutsk tribunals.
This Castle was not conquered by the Golden Horde! But later, he and Ukraine were captured by the Soviet evil empire.

Very old and interesting castle. Not the biggest wealth of information to be found but still interesting none the less. I did enjoy the archery though (they let you shoot a bow). It was much harder than I thought!
