Must have to visit.
A very interesting museum, very friendly staff and guides.
There is a great souvenir shop. Moreover, it is not Chinese stamped consumer goods that are sold, but a wide range of handmade products by local craftsmen.
Please note that the ascent to the observation deck is only with a guide.

It's an amazing place, I've wanted to visit it since I was a schoolboy. The guides are very pleasant, the 40-minute tour is very interesting, time flies by instantly. I definitely advise you to visit!

The service upset Belarus. And that's why. A turret, several floors. In my opinion, there are more expositions in one tower of the Mir Castle than in this one. For visiting 7.5 b.r. and something about the tour, I did not listen, it is not particularly interesting, when I remember from history that the gentry constantly claimed these lands. On two floors I met couples with children and guides - I frankly felt sorry for the children, they just fell asleep and rushed away from boredom, the parents pretended to listen, do you think they will remember something?... Remember yourself when you were young... And now the moment of disappointment is near. I read an advertisement on the Russian website - access to the upper open area, that was the only thing that attracted me. We went up to the top floor, the exit to the top is closed. Surprise, and a question to the caretaker on the floor. Answer: To the top only when ordering an excursion with a guide - 25 b.p. So I do not need an excursion, I can read on the stands myself. Let's just pay extra for the exit... Satisfy: We do not have such a service - only with a guided tour. ... In general, the town is about nothing, some kind of attraction is small and everyone will feed off it. Well done, they have come up with a great way to feed the guides as well... But the taste is unpleasant. It's like the whole country dumped libraries on the construction site in Minsk, but to make the entrance for Belarusians free at least once - the toad strangled.

I was in this tower for the second time, but this time with an excursion that I bought on the spot. A bonus from the tour: in addition to the history of the tower, it is an opportunity to climb to the observation deck.
Take the time to visit this unique tower - it's worth it.
And I will also note parking, a decent toilet, a cafe across the street with a business lunch at pleasant prices with good quality.

Somewhere inside, very deeply, I understand the people working at the box office and in the museum, I don't really want to strain for a salary, it would be my own, the attitude was completely different.
And now I will explain: we came to this place on the recommendation of a guide from Belovezhskaya Pushcha, by the way, a very pleasant and knowledgeable person, it is probably not appropriate to voice the name. We arrived at 17.00, the tower museum is open until 17.30, we just wanted to go up to the top and take a couple of photos, but no: the ticket office said that only with a guide, and only until 16.30. Well, that's the whole story, and who read it - well done!!! We didn't get positive emotions... Very sorry.

It's a very interesting place. There is a lot to see in the tower, you can get acquainted with the history at the stands or book a tour. It is impressive that it has been preserved in this condition, considering the year of construction. The city is pleasant, there is a cozy cafe nearby. We are glad that we visited this place

It is not a very popular place among tourists. But it is very significant for Belarus. I recommend taking a guided tour, from which you can go upstairs to the observation deck.

The Kamenetsky Tower is a defensive structure of the 13th century. Personally, I have not met such structures, this is a fortification that was widespread in the XIII–XIV centuries in the western lands.
The height of the tower is 29.4 m, the walls are made of red brick, the tower is shaped like a cylinder, divided into five tiers. The walls of all tiers are equipped with loopholes, who knows who fired from them at the enemies?
I liked the exposition, it was interesting.
The area around the tower is paved with paving stones, the restrooms are located in the pavilion next to it.
I definitely recommend you to visit.

You can go to the museum, but you can only get to the observation deck at the top of the tower with a guide, of whom there are not many and you have to wait an hour until he returns with the previous group. This is very strange, I advise you to book the tour in advance. The place itself is incredibly beautiful and ancient. The tower is impressive.

We ordered an excursion. The guide is a bomb, a young man, unfortunately I do not remember the name. A person is passionate about his profession, loves it, loves the city, knows the history. We got aesthetic pleasure, everything fell into place in my head. If someone gathers at the vezha, I recommend this guide. You really won't regret it.

A quiet and inconspicuous town. Clean and pleasant. We arrived at about noon hungry and hungry. Everything is closed except for one cafe. But there was nothing to eat there except pies with coffee or tea. But thanks for that too. True, there was also a pizzeria, but it took about thirty minutes to wait, and at first we decided to take a walk and then time ran out. It was necessary to rush on. In general, there is nothing to see except the tower. Therefore, stop by only on the way. Special respect to the locals. Everyone from children to adults greeted and congratulated on the holiday. And the best part was that we were so worried about our stomach that we had to take information about local catering outlets for about half an hour. Thanks a lot to them for that.

There are no disadvantages. Only the advantages. Thanks to Belarus for preserving and restoring this unique monument. An interesting tour that will be remembered by both adults and children. And a stunning view of the city and the surrounding area from the height of the tower!👍👌

Nothing special. The tower is like a tower. Everything is neat and clean. There is a museum inside the tower. Overall, the place is beautiful. I recommend it for connoisseurs of history.

On the way to Belovezhskaya Pushcha, you can stop in the town of Kamenets and explore the ancient watchtower. Inside the tower there is a small but capacious museum covering the history of the city and the tower itself. Inside there are 5 tiers, a spiral staircase in the middle leads up to the wooden arch itself. You will not be able to get to the teeth on your own, only with an excursion. There is a parking lot nearby. On the square in front of the tower there is a ticket office, a toilet and a souvenir shop. There are no people at all for the May holidays of 2024, so you could safely take pictures.

An excellent medieval building, one of the few that have survived to this day. Climbing up, you can imagine what kind of views there were when the river was still full-flowing. This tower is depicted on a 5-ruble bill.

Unfortunately, I was not inside - I ended up in Kamianets on Monday (a day off at the museum). But it's really cool outside. Both the tower and the area near it. And the city is very good

They didn't go inside. It's a pity that you can't go upstairs without a guided tour. But the outside is very nice and tidy. The photos turned out perfectly

Everything is good, beautiful, etc. But the most important disadvantage is that you cannot climb to the top of the tower on your own. Only with a guide and after listening to the tour...

I put 5*, but I can't say anything in detail about the museum, and I don't want to spoil the statistics for the museum. We looked at the tower from the outside, took pictures, but did not go into the museum itself - we were very tired and had to go further to Brest. We are tired because we were in Belovezhskaya Pushcha before. We wanted to see the bison... yeah! To get to them, you need to walk a pretty decent distance of several kilometers. Add to this the heat of 31 degrees... 🥵🥵 So, unfortunately, it was no longer up to the museum in the tower. Although, if the weather had been different, we would have come in.

An interesting and atmospheric place. it's very cool that there are free days, my family and I were lucky to get on such a day and we visited the Kamenetsky Vezhi Museum for free. However, there is a caveat - if you want a photo inside, you need to pay (about 2.5 rubles)

The place is interesting, the second time there, but it's not worth going specifically straight from afar, except for deviating a little from the route.
It was 30.04.2024 on a pre-holiday day, but there was not a word about the fact that the day was shorter, well, at least they would have written by hand. Fortunately, we managed to do it.
It was unpleasant that the tickets were already punched at a new price, higher, from 05/01/2024 - a trifle, but unpleasant.
I do not remember that 2 or 3 years ago they took money for photography, and the prices, especially video shooting, are just space: 14.40rB, which at the rate of 1x35 = 504p.
There is a separate conversation about the exit to the observation deck. The price list was poorly readable in the sun, but no one wanted to offer it, they say, find out for yourself, and how do you know if when I was there earlier I also did not know about it and no one offered it either.
So it turns out there is a place, but there is no service. I won't write anything about the excursions - I didn't find out.
I put 4 stars and 2 cons in my mind just for a beautiful place.

A magnificent architectural monument. Do not regret to cooperate with other people and click on the guide. The fact is that it is he who will take you to the observation deck at the top. They won't let you in just like that.
The story is interesting and not tedious.
The view from the top is cool. Inside, it's also interesting how it was live.

We stopped at the tower on the way to Belovezhskaya Pushcha. We only planned to look outside, but it was interesting for the children to go inside the museum. We didn't regret it! The guide Ilya fascinated us with the history of the Kamenka Tower and the city itself. The children were also thrilled to be immersed in history!
Feel free to plan a visit!

It's a good place. If you stop by, do not spare the money, take a tour, without it this place will not open, it will be like everywhere else, stones, exhibits, a couple of photos and empty time. Thanks to the guide, he's good, it's eerily interesting.

I almost drove by. We looked in with our family, took an excursion, only with it you can get to the observation deck on the roof. And they didn't regret it. A good guide, he told everything very interestingly, an hour flew by not noticeably. We touched more than six hundred years of history. It turned out to be very interesting for children. I recommend it!

An impressive structure. The building has been standing for more than 700 years and has never been captured by enemies. Our ancestors built for centuries. The preservation of the original appearance is more than 90%. A real monument of architecture of those distant historical times.

Tower (Vezha) . 40 km from Brest, in the town of Kamenets, there is a defense watchtower with the romantic name Belaya Vezha. It was built at the end of the 13th century. The tower stands on a hill, so that from its height of 35 meters the surroundings are perfectly visible.

We haven't been to the tower itself, we arrived on a day off. From the outside, the scale and grandeur of the tower are impressive. The view of the surroundings, as well as the realization that this monument has been admired for hundreds of years. The area around is gentrified.
There is no ramp.
