Lubart's Castle

Lutsk Castle, commonly called Lubart's Castle or the Upper Castle, is the medieval fortified seat established in the mid-14th century in Lutsk, Ukraine. It stands on the Styr River and historically enclosed ecclesiastical and ducal buildings; today the bishop's palace is the only formerly enclosed building to still stand.

As it stood in 1429

The shape it held in its prime.

Massive medieval curtain walls of stone and brick form a roughly rectangular plan sited on the Styr River bank, with an outer moat and a western bridge approach leading to the main gate. Three principal towers rise from the curtain — the Lubart, Švitrigaila and Bishop towers — linked by a chemin de ronde; within the walls lay the episcopal palace and St. John's Cathedral. At prime the masonry shows coursed stone with brick infill and crenellated battlements.
