Sights in Lutsk

  1. Lutsk Castle

    In Lutsk’s old quarter, a 14th-century castle stands surrounded by ornate 17th-century churches and homes. Lutsk Castle is in fairly decent shape for a Ukrainian fortress. Known as Lubart’s Castle after the Lithuanian prince who ordered it built, it has sturdy 13m-high ramparts topped with three tall towers, one containing a collection of bells. There are also the archaeological remains of a 12th-century church and 14th-century palace, a small dungeon and a museum of books.
