The castle is beautiful, but not impressive. We enjoyed watching the exhibitions, strolled through the galleries and halls.
I really liked the restored ovens, I was delighted with their variety and shapes. The bathing place was very impressive - I have not seen this anywhere else. The restored interiors are very beautiful.
The halls with the exhibition of weapons interested men, I enjoyed fine art and icon painting with pleasure.

I have a rule: on excursions and vacations, go only to new places (the world is huge, I want to see as much as possible) and without prior preparation along the route, the history of interesting places (get impressions from scratch).
This September, I finally went to Belarus. What I knew about it: a friendly country, friendly people, beautiful and spacious Minsk, wonderful sanatoriums. Everything.
I chose a route through the western part of the country: Grodno, Belovezhskaya Pushcha, Brest. And I couldn't believe that in Grodno such a century-old story would open up in front of me, when both the second and third visits would not be enough to feel it in the buildings, streets, where the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Soviet Union left indelible traces.
And Belovezhskaya Pushcha! Not just a big forest with bison (as I imagined), but endless kilometers of forest wealth and a wide variety of animals.
And here is Brest. I am ashamed to admit, but I did not know that there is the city of Brest, beautiful and with its most interesting history, and the Brest fortress, which everyone knows about as a symbol of the courage of the Soviet people.
And that's what not only amazed me, but delighted me - these are hundreds of kilometers of cleaned, well-groomed fields, completely ready for the new season.
It has been decided, I am temporarily violating my rule and in the summer I will go to Belarus again on the same route, but already well prepared.
