It's a wonderful place. I envy the students who study at the university, which was built in the 16th century and has such a history. The territory can be accessed freely, but the courtyard to the clock and the well, as well as the office with a mechanical head, can only be accessed with an excursion, which must be booked in advance.
Everyone can ask questions to the head, so prepare them in advance. He responds very quickly and individually, not in general phrases, but, of course, in a philosophical way.

A wonderful place, restored buildings in excellent condition, landscaped grounds. At the same time, it is possible to get inside the building only with a certain guide, having made an appointment in advance by phone and at a certain time, that is, for a traveler who arrived with one overnight stay in Polotsk, it is practically impossible. It is a pity that we could not see either a clock with dolls or a talking head, although we stopped in Polotsk specifically for this. I think that such an organization of visits needs to be urgently changed.
