Restoration is underway, but even now it can be understood that it was a large structure, and powerful. When you enter the tower by the old steps, you can't help but feel the power of these walls.

It's a great place, I recommend everyone to touch our story. The fortress is being restored, but there are still places with ancient masonry, which cannot fail to impress. Against the background of the settlement itself, the fortress looks colossal
In my opinion, one of the most important places in Europe! The famous "marriage certificate" was signed here - the Kreva Union, which united Poland and the INCL..., the nobility hid here from Ivan the Terrible ..., the troops of the Russian Empire were besieged here in World War I, which led to the complete destruction of the castle... But the impression is mixed, parking for five cars, instead of a cafe there is a "service of life", no infrastructure, it seems they have been preserved forever (
I didn't like that the entrance is paid, and even if you want to just walk by yourself, you have to pay for the tour, it was interesting to listen, the guide is very pleasant, but considering that we didn't have much time, such a detailed story kept me a little impatient.
The impression of the Kreva Castle, or rather of its ruins, which are trying to be restored, although there is no documentary evidence of what this castle looked like, is "saved" only by its guide.

Great!!! Pleasant atmosphere, mentally. We will definitely come back.
The place is steeped in history. It is a pity that very little has been preserved or reconstructed. A beautiful view opens up if you go a little further to the hill where the temple was.
A very, very historical place in Belarus!
I wish it could be restored as soon as possible! I will be happy to visit it for excursions!
It was very sad to see such a castle in ruins!
Restoration has begun, good luck!
The place is interesting, but it's not worth going there as to the end point of the route
A man selling souvenirs in the parking lot told many interesting stories about the castle, but only one wall remained from the original castle itself
They sell entrance tickets
P.S. animals are not allowed, maybe this information will be useful
A good place for a weekend excursion. Especially if there is a festival of reenactors. It is convenient to drive up, try in the morning, then buses with tourists arrive.
A very interesting place, the walls of the castle directly study antiquity, history and antiquity, in addition, there is a very interesting and beautiful church and an equally beautiful church nearby, I advise everyone to visit this place.
It's closed on weekends, you can only walk around. An iconic place with the greatest history for our land, being restored slowly and little by little, maybe the grandchildren will see something
I was not impressed. I was scared off by the fact that, unlike the same ruins of the Golshansky castle, where everything is neat and all approaches for tourists are made and admission is free, they manage to charge money for admission (albeit symbolic).
The ruins of Krevo Castle, located in the village of Krevo. Entrance to the castle is paid, there is a guide who will tell you in detail about the history of the castle, and you will also be able to see a knight's duel, King Jagiello, hear the sounds of bagpipes and much more.
A beautiful old village, definitely worth a visit, because the Kreva Union was signed there! The castle is being restored, the entrance is now limited, but if desired, you can get inside the courtyard. A craftsman sells various crafts nearby, he has good souvenirs, and in addition, you will learn from him about his project of the Kreva Castle in miniature.
There you can also visit the church, and very close to 2 more historical sites - Golshany and Boruny.
Kreva Castle is one of the oldest Belarusian castles, as an amateur, not a historian, I did not like it, it was quite badly destroyed.. But if you go by road, you can visit
It's not worth going just for this place, except along the way. The castle is closed, small in size by itself, with only the Church and the Cathedral around the sights.
For the utter Ruins, ask for an entrance inside 20 rubles. I think it's just a shame. It should be free so that there is at least some interest in the country
