Inside of Peter and Paul's Cathedral (Lutsk)

 temple, memorial, church, monument

The pearl of the city, and its symbol, is Lutsk Castle (1 Kafedralna Str.), i.e. Lubart’s Castle, established by Prince Lubart in 1340-1348. Now the castle armory, ceramics and unique bell collection is exhibited in its three towers. Excursions through the territory reveal archeological remnants of a 12th century church, the Prince’s palace from the 14-16th century and the unique Museum of Antique Books.

Further past the castle square, you will discover the Roman Catholic Peter and Paul Cathedral (1616–1640), designed by Italian architect Giacomo Briani. Due to its wonderful acoustics this is a regular venue for organ music concerts. Adjacent to the church is the 17th century Jesuit monastery and the 100 year neo-gothic old Lutheran Kirche. Nearby is the eclectic mini-castle designed by architect Mykola Holovan, and often compared with Kiev’s House of Chimeras.
