The castle is interesting only because access to it is very difficult! Considering that this castle has been a prison since its construction, one can only rejoice at this difficulty. Although you can't give up your purse or prison... (folk wisdom)
Dear tourists, this is yesterday's pre-trial detention center, which has just been handed over for restoration and transformation into a historical building, so do not write that there is no entrance and barbed wire, wait, they will open for everyone soon. But I can tell you that it's interesting inside, I went for walks through the tower where Yakub Kolos was sitting, and I took full part in the story.
The entrance to the territory was not found, there is barbed wire around the perimeter and only what is in the photo is visible.
Don't waste your time)
In a word, what can be said about the historical place.🤝👌🙂 The place is iconic, the most interesting thing is that everything has preserved its functions from earlier times. It is very interesting to feel yourself together with the story.
Maybe, of course, it is possible to approach him somehow, we have not found it. Fence and barbed wire. Maybe when it is put in order, then tourists will be allowed in
A landmark is a strong word, an active prison, when I came to admire the castle, I was a little taken aback🤣
Parking is only along the road, you can not enter the territory, just look at it from behind the fence or from the hotel opposite.
Now it's not a castle at all, but a prison. The building itself is not visible because of the high fence with wire. In general, there is nothing to look at. All information can be obtained from the Internet, where there is a photo from a drone, etc. You won't see anything when you get there anyway.
VOLODARKA: IT CAN'T BE HELPED, IT'S A TRADITION. Although in this once-upon-a-time castle, which later - and more than a century ago - became a prison, outwardly the current pre-trial detention center is much more than a historical landmark (see photo). But even in this capacity, as they say, "inspires". Moreover, according to the history-legend, only one prisoner escaped from it, and that one was famous (and even revered by someone). Namely, the warm-hearted and cold-headed F.E.Dzerzhinsky. Despite everything, the castle-prison is located in a kind of inappropriate way, in the very center of the Belarusian capital, and even next door to the Government House. But if you think about it, there is even a certain symbolism in this. As well as a reminder and rebuke to the "powers that be", a kind of visible and weighty argument and a mandate to serve the interests of the people and the country, and not their own. Something like that
It is very difficult to approach it, either around it or the castle itself is a correctional institution. Very little is visible from the outside, only a couple of towers are visible.
The atmosphere of the Middle Ages)) especially inside. It's a good place to think about the good and eternal. A good school, which is better to go by correspondence!
I spent about 1.5 years in this castle, in total, under investigation, there is little good, and not everything is so clear, but I remember with nostalgia for the aimlessly lived years...

A great place to think about being. With its atmosphere, it changes the worldview and the future. The smell of history is inside.
Overall not bad, but the food is not very good. And the schooner is also not very comfortable, but in general it is fine. People are sociable, they give queens on holidays
Unfortunately, there is some kind of institution located on the territory of the castle, possibly a military one, it is not possible to approach the castle, from a distance the view of the castle requires repair
This is an active prison! The navigator led straight to the queue! People in line for a tourist with a camera, it would be more appropriate to say with a camera looked askance. It was the turn of the prison to give the transfer. That's the story)))
At first, I was delighted to see the tower from afar and find the castle marked on the map. Then I saw a more realistic designation of the zone on another map. And the building itself is interesting.
It's fun, of course, that it's designated as a landmark, but it's a prison! Alas, you can only enter as employees or prisoners. I wish neither one nor the other to anyone!
The place is good, you can spend the night with your loved one and even with your family exclusive all inclusive spa procedures massage aquazone I advise everyone
I didn't like it here in 2010, people with guns are all around, they don't let me go anywhere, I had to take turns sleeping because there were 26 people in 15 places, and they seemed to say the place was good, but no one would give me a look!))) I would attach a photo, but there is nowhere to take it)))
This building is almost 200 years old, and all these years it has been used for one purpose - in the form of a prison and a pre-trial detention center. It's a pity that the building is crumbling. It would be nice to restore it and make a museum here.
Anyone inside is unlikely to write a review from there. The castle is an active pre-trial detention center. It is surrounded by a high fence and buildings around. Even photographing from afar and crookedly problematic. And one of the towers was destroyed. It's really a disaster
