The building with a rich and interesting history is an architectural monument and a business card of Lida. It is located within walking distance from the railway and bus stations. Entrance to the territory is paid. In the museum located inside the castle, you can get acquainted with the history of its foundation and construction, as well as the personalities involved. There are thematic expositions in the two towers of the castle, where you can also view household items, paintings and photographs from different years, weapons and armor of knights and much more. The towers are connected by a passage in the upper part of the castle fortress wall, from the height of which you can see the surrounding urban surroundings. In addition, there is a restaurant and an exhibition of weapons on the territory inside the castle (entrance to it is for a fee). There is also a storage room inside at the entrance to the museum, where you can leave things you don't need when visiting. A public toilet and souvenir shops are located outside the castle - this should be taken into account when visiting the museum. In general, it is definitely worth visiting this rather interesting and picturesque place, especially when spectacular events are held - reconstructions of knight fights, etc. (there is even a grandstand with seats for spectators inside).

A very beautiful and well-maintained place, everything is very clean, there are signs everywhere, interesting exhibits, very friendly staff at the museum, it was nice to be in such an atmosphere. Medieval music is playing in the courtyard from the administration house, it's very funny. A good souvenir shop with reasonable prices. In general, it is a very good impression, it is clear that people are trying, success and prosperity.

The castle is very large, beautiful, ancient, it was authentic in 1320, but then it was destroyed, and now it has been restored, and made even more gorgeous and beautiful. You can also book a tour there. Everything cost us 42 rubles, not expensive as for me, there are 3 floors on different topics, there is even a royal toilet. There is a cafe next to the castle, where we ordered salads, cream spinach soup, hodgepodge, burgers with chicken and beef and drink pepsi and myriad, the waitress is very nice, kind, listened to us and correctly wrote down the order and wished us a pleasant appetite, everything is fine, there is also a bottle of water, it tastes good it's kind of metal, but it's washed and thirst is the most important thing, there is also a paid toilet, the office is not broken, the watchman is not rude. In short, everything is fine, I'll attach the photos

The first stone castle on the territory of Belarus, founded in the 14th century, is the main attraction of the city of Lida. It has been restored, the old masonry has been preserved in places. In the 2 towers available for inspection, there are now museum expositions telling about the history of the creation of the castle and fortifications, the history of the USSR and Belarus. There is a lot of interesting information for those who are interested in history. You can walk along the walls of the castle. If we compare it with the advertised castles in Mir and Nesvizh, then the Lida Castle loses to these two in terms of entertainment. It is better to visit the castle with a guide, it will be more informative. There is a rather cozy cafe inside the castle courtyard, where it is nice to have a snack and relax.

Lida Castle was built in 1323 on behalf of Prince Gediminas. A unique museum with interesting exhibits and photo zones. The museum staff is friendly. The caretakers of the halls tell the story of the castle with great love.Almost every room has an interactive stand with a description of the exhibits. There is also a theatrical tour in the museum.

A very cool and interesting castle! We went on an excursion with the class, everyone was especially impressed by the hall with instruments of torture) The guides tell me very interestingly, in general I liked it, but I recommend coming there in the summer, because you can walk around the lake, and another museum inside will be open
I recommend everyone to visit, at least to broaden their horizons))

A well-restored castle. Friendly caretakers. It is very convenient that there is an audio guide, but you can also take a guided tour. You can listen to old music on the square. Performances are taking place, but we didn't get there. The story is interesting. There are souvenir tents next to the castle. There is a lot of choice.

It is a very interesting, atmospheric place, of course, the architecture is incomparable with the architecture of the Nesvizh district, but....different historical epochs. The staff is very friendly. Background music complements the overall look and meaning very nicely. I advise you to visit.

An ancient medieval castle built in the time of Prince Gediminas. It is a very atmospheric place, immersed in the Middle Ages. There is a place to take photos, and at the knight's table, try on a crown and knight's armor. You can shoot arrows in the yard. On the territory of the castle there is a restaurant with authentic Belarusian cuisine, also decorated in the style of the Middle Ages.

It is interesting to walk inside the castle, there are many museum exhibits. I am pleased with the visit. I also recommend visiting a brasserie near the brewery, the prices will surprise you with their cheapness. Plus, you can buy fresh beer of different varieties on tap

The castle is in a picturesque place. Despite the antiquity, there are many renovations during the restoration, especially in the upper tier. There are a lot of activities inside: knight's lists- sword fighting, archery and others, a blacksmith's house (it would be good to start the process live). There is a museum exposition inside the towers. A torture chamber with a set of medieval arsenal is interesting.
In general, the visit is very interesting for both adults and children.

It's a beautiful place. The entire exposition is complemented by an audio guide on the kjar code. Wonderful staff will answer all your questions, tell you what to pay attention to in each of the halls. I liked it very much. It is not crowded, you can consider everything in detail, there are installations in the courtyard, cafes on site, souvenir shops near the entrance.

Interesting, informative. Very good exposure. I understand that a lot of things are new, but that doesn't make it any less interesting. On the contrary, well done to those who strive to preserve their history, restore and attract the attention of others to it. We stared at the chivalrous images, shot arrows, took pictures at the royal table)) You will be in

The castle is located in the city of Lida, RB. It is small in size. The castle has been well reconstructed - all the elements are new or in excellent condition. There are photo zones, exhibition areas. There are walking paths around the castle, near the lake (they clean it, birds swim). There are Chinese trinkets in the stalls (I didn't see any local craftsmen).
I recommend you to visit.

It's a great place. A well-restored castle, not as luxurious as Mirsky, but it has everything you need: an interesting museum, a large playground for performances, a cool gallery for walking along the wall. I recommend.

In general, it is normal to bring children together. Almost all the halls are modern reconstruction and the inventions of restorers. The torture room is cool, there is a tavern on the territory, but I did not get there, there was special maintenance. You can stop by if you're passing by.

We went on an excursion to the Lida Castle on our own, without a guide. If you don't look for flaws, then, in my opinion, this is a wonderful place for the whole family to relax. You can find out how you used to live, look at the interior and household items. Somewhere to envy, as well as sympathize (especially when hiking stairs). I recommend you to visit, you definitely need to see everything once.

I really don't want to write a negative review, but I want to draw the attention of the management to the problem. We had booked the tour in advance, it was our first castle in Belarus that we visited. It is a pity that the guide (unfortunately, I did not remember the name) was unfriendly, even rude, she clearly did not want to conduct the tour. Later I saw that on the territory of the courtyard other guides were telling some stories about the general history of the place, about some architectural features. Our guide immediately took us to the tower, began to scold everyone in advance that everyone always touches and breaks everything, and you are also likely to do this, but I threaten you – do not do this. To be honest, my husband and I left in the second hall. And we weren't the only ones. It was extremely unpleasant to be in her company. That is, it turns out that we paid for the tour, but left without receiving any interesting information. The lady was so unpleasant that I generally wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
Please note that the guides work with people, these people have come a long way to visit your castle (we drove from Smolensk for several hours). They expect high-quality service, respect, and interest.

It's a very beautiful castle. It is located inside the city along the highway. There are many modern buildings around. But if you go inside the castle, you can't see or hear all this. It's like going back to the Middle Ages. The condition of the castle and the expositions inside is excellent.

It's a very beautiful castle. It can't be compared to Nesvezhsky. Especially the lake from a height in the form of a heart. Very nice girls on each floor tell the story of the castle. Two towers, 4 floors in one place, 6 floors in another. There is a personal guide on each floor. You don't even need a tour.

One of the many castles in western Belarus. Excellent access roads, parking spaces nearby. Buy a ticket at the entrance and the whole castle is at your disposal)
Very interesting exhibits, as usual there is a souvenir shop. Take a leisurely stroll through this castle. I'm sure you'll like it.

The castle, according to the locals, has been renovated — there is little left of the former architecture. But it is quite an interesting and informative interactive museum of the history of the castle in one of the towers. In general, there is not much to do on the territory of the castle itself. Unless you sit in the Kumlyak tavern and drink homemade tincture)

great. Like it. It turned out to be a surprise that the castle has as many as 5 floors! The walk along the wooden gallery at the 3rd floor level turned out to be very exciting. Well, the "cheerful" collection of torture instruments surprised me. Well, the funny neighborhood of an ancient hearth and a modern fire extinguisher. 😀

I was lucky enough to get on an excursion conducted by the head of the museum. It was very interesting, informative, even fun. We had a lot of fun for a nominal fee. We took a lot of photos in knight costumes, crowns at the dinner table. Thanks to the museum staff! I sincerely recommend it.

A place worth visiting. A medieval castle of defensive type. Two towers with expositions located on several floors, a free audio guide via a q-code, which is located near each exhibit. In Belarusian, but 95% of it is understandable for Russian speakers. I recommend it, we really liked it

It's a great castle. You can visit the chambers in the towers and walk along the walls. There are not many exhibits, but this is not a museum, you will like the architectural structure inside and out. The cost of visiting the castle varies depending on age. There is a guide, meals on the castle grounds.

Посетили в этом году город Лида. Остались самые приятные впечатления от города, инфраструктуры и посещения Лидского замка. Обязательно всем рекомендую. Замок отреставрирован, очень все познавательно. Жаль мы не успевали на рыцарский турнир. К гостям относятся трепетно, стараются по максимуму удовлетворить все желания и просьбы. У меня была как раз ситуация, которая, на первый взгляд, неразрешима, но помощь пришла в лице директора замка Анны Тодеушевны. Быстро все разрулила, решила, помогла. Считаю ее Ангелом-хранителем этого места. Низкий поклон ей. А какая корчма Кумпяк на территории замка. Только имейте ввиду она работает с пятницы по воскресенье. Кухня , подача, разнообразие блюд и напитков выше всяческих похвал, гастрономический восторг. Да, не совсем дешево, но это штучное заведение. Остановитесь, пообедайте, среди вековых стен замка подумайте о бранности жизни, поднимите чарку за основателя замка Гедемина и просто хорошо проведите время.

The castle has been well restored, brings an authentic atmosphere of the Middle Ages. The expositions are well decorated, I really liked the refectory. 4 stars for the fact that it was impossible to try out the torture chamber for a photo and for the souvenir shop that did not open after lunch at 12 o'clock.

An interesting, fully restored 14th century castle. Accordingly, the exhibits are mostly replicas. A lot of things, armor, interiors, instruments of torture, fruits and vegetables. In any case, it's better than an empty space. The children will definitely be delighted. I really liked the interactive geographical maps, Friendly and professional staff. There are good souvenir shops at the entrance to the castle.

The castle is basically a new model, an interesting room with objects for torture. The rest is a bit boring. These are mostly maps and illustrations.
The caretakers, or whatever you want to call them, are very stuffy. If you come to look, you'll immediately mumble "DON'T TOUCH IT WITH YOUR HANDS," and I wasn't going to... There are sandboxes for excavations, obviously for children, but they stand above the grilles of the heaters, for which again the negative appeal "I just cleaned up" was received.
The castle is like a castle. You can watch it, but it's about nothing.

An interesting castle. It's worth a visit. It has been restored not badly and the exhibits are not bad. You can take pictures everywhere. And we have created quite a few places for this. But the main thing is the city in which it is located! He will definitely not leave indifferent those who have nostalgia for the 80s! The city seems to be stuck in this time. Visit and see for yourself! Words cannot describe it!

We went to Lida to the museum of the beer factory and stopped at the Lida Castle on the way. The monumental wall of the castle is visible against the background of the lake, from which fountains are beating. There is no external beauty. There is paid water in the courtyard, historical buildings are located on the territory, in which the history is revealed. Nearby there is a Lida beer restaurant where you can eat. There are souvenir stalls everywhere.

They showed the castle to their relatives from Russia. They were impressed.The boys liked the collection of weapons, and the girls were happy to take pictures in interesting locations. I was especially impressed by the beautiful view of the city from a height. The staff is very polite and attentive. Many different souvenirs can be purchased on site. An interesting place for visitors to the city.

Great respect for the work invested in the restoration of the castle, but, unfortunately, there is nothing to see in the castle. Everything is new, a fake fireplace, a throne room with a "European renovation" in the form of modern curtains, "phenomena" on the table, everything seemed inappropriate and boring to me. There is a little bit of masonry from the present, completed with modern bricks. I liked the torture room and was impressed by the costume of the plague doctor. But not the castle.

The impression is slightly spoiled by the fact that the entire new building is made of bricks, not boulders (I am not a restorer, so I do not understand why it would not be possible to repeat the original appearance if there are a lot of cobblestones in the area)
The museum's exposition is not large, but the main thing is the interior and atmosphere. If you have the opportunity to take a guide, be sure to take it, this is not an audio guide, but much more interesting and informative.
There is a tavern in the castle itself where you can have a snack, but there were no visitors at all, as well as waiters or menus at the entrance, so I had to go look for other cafes in the city (and this is a big problem in Lida)
