Body

Lutsk is the historical centre of Volyn region, one of the oldest cities in Ukraine. One can find the first mention of Lutsk in the Hypatian Codex of 1085.

The main attraction and pride of the city is the Upper or Liubart’s Castle, the construction of which began in the 1350s. From the south and west the Upper Castle was protected by the Okolnyi Castle built at the turn of the 14th-15th centuries.

For centuries, a complex of Lutsk Castle with its Upper and Okolnyi castles have been a powerful fortress and a place to concentrate all the authorities of the Volyn principality: legislative, judicial, executive and ecclesiastical.

The manors of the nobility, rich burghers, important officials and bishops were located close to the Okolnyi Castle. Local magnates lived there, including the family of Duke Fedir Sanguszko, Marshal of the Volyn land.

In the middle of the 16th century, a courtyard of Duke Andrii Sanguszko-Koshyrskyi, the Elder of Lutsk, was located in this area. He took an active part both in the buildout of the city and in its defence. If necessary, the duke delivered 46 horses and riders to the army.

The Duke's estates have not survived until present. Just a single tower and fragments of the wall remind of the Okolnyi Castle. Instead, the Upper Castle has been preserved almost in its original shape. And up to now it, shrouded in many legends and mysterious stories, attracts its visitors with beauty, majesty and power.
