Dubno. From the Castle Along Zamkova Street

Dubno, a district centre of the Rivne region, is known to tourists above all for its castle of the 14th-15th centuries, built on the site of the citadel. A walk through this town of the chronicles brings acquaintance with other landmarks, which can be seen in 3-4 hours in the historic centre of Dubno. Let us begin with the Lutsk Gate, through which the old highway passed to this ancient town of Volhynia.

Dubno Castle. An Impregnable Aristocratic Residence

Dubno Castle is one of the most impregnable, wealthiest and most legendary European castles. Emperors, hetmans and kings visited this aristocratic residence. The defenders of the impregnable fortress repelled enemy raids, and the stronghold never once submitted — not to the Tatars, nor the Cossacks, nor the Swedes.
