Most of all, I liked the view from the observation deck of the castle to the river, to the houses. Well done for preserving history, there were a lot of interesting things on the tour. Thank you.
We were at the castle for the May holidays. I was lucky with the weather. You can visit the castle at 11:45, inspect the expositions and by 11:58 climb up to the second platform to listen to the bugler on the fire tower and the view of the city is excellent.
A very interesting museum, especially if you go on a guided tour. But I can notice that there is a history, application and additional information about some of the exhibits. But most of all I liked the view from the observation deck. This is something! It looks even better in person
The old castle in Grodno. The old one, because there is a New castle nearby. The old castle was first mentioned at the end of the 10th century. It is located on a steep picturesque hill near the Neman River.
It was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt. The palace, fragments of defensive walls, ruins of the Lower and Upper Churches, princely chambers, a bridge and a castle have been preserved to this day. Now the Grodno State Historical and Archaeological Museum lives there.
I remember the bathhouse with an interesting ceiling and the rooms of the church with pretty stained glass windows from the exposition.
The castle has an observation deck, which offers the best view of the surrounding area.
There are a lot of imitations, reproductions. I want more authenticity, not plastered walls. Special thanks for the interactive showcases of the exhibits - an excellent solution
We were in September 2024, it is very interesting, I hope from the time the castle will completely become a museum and fully show the life of the rulers of that time
The building is almost completely rebuilt. In the museum, modern craftsmen have recreated the atmosphere of the heyday of the castle. And although there are few authentic places in the castle that have been preserved from past centuries, the work done by the restorers is admired and respected! I sincerely advise you to visit
Thank you for the wonderful restoration! I was in the city about twelve years ago, of course a lot of work has been done and the idea of the museum is good, if you immediately grasp that the point is to install certain interiors from pieces of the castle's history. I will be very glad to get into the rest of the restored part after a while!
They didn't get inside, Monday is a day off. The castle is not fenced around, you can walk around the territory of both the old and the new castle. My impressions include beautiful sunsets and the opportunity to take atmospheric photos.
We are from Volkovysk, we ordered a personal guide for a family of 4 people, it is interesting, exciting and very beautiful. Grodno is the best as always!
A must-visit place if you come to Belarus. The reconstruction of the castle continues. There is an excursion, there is something to see.

It's a very cool place and unusual. Well done for preserving history. The castle is interesting with a moderately restrained and unloaded exposition, there is an observation deck, I definitely recommend you to visit 👍
A beautiful castle on a high bank, which gives it even more beauty. We went down to the river specifically to take a photo. But it didn't work out to get inside. The gates were closed.
A very beautiful castle inside, although it looks quite small. There is something to see and read. Modern interactive whiteboards where you can explore information about a specific room/object. I recommend you to visit!

It is a very beautiful place, the museum is interesting, each exhibit is described. There is a very cool observation deck with a view of the Seal. An atmospheric place, I recommend it to everyone.
A wonderfully restored castle. And the restoration process continues. Of course, the so-called "spirit of antiquity" could not be preserved. But it's better than nothing. Although ruins can be picturesque. The exhibits are interesting, but there are not very many original ones. Nice view from the observation deck. There weren't many people in the morning.
Most of all in this castle we were surprised by the opaque windows in the gallery and on the upper floor. They are made in such a way as to let in light, but not to show the image. We did not understand why this is so
An amazing place compared to what was and what has become! Interactive tours have appeared in almost every hall! The restoration was done right with love.The frescoes and stained glass windows are very similar to the authentic ones.I highly recommend visiting the observation deck: the view of Grodno is impressive.
So to ruin a historical monument is to really dislike your city. The museum, which had been here for many years, was removed. Previously, you could just come and walk around the castle grounds, now everything is only through the cashier. The ticket price is space, considering that you will just walk through the new building, stylized as an antique. You climb up the spiral staircase to the observation deck, where the distance from wall to wall is no more than half a meter, and given that the exit is not visible, you can meet someone halfway, and you will not be able to disperse: someone will have to back away. From the exhibits: several items found, apparently, during excavations. All the doors are solid oak, but they didn't even bother to come up with at least some patina or somehow age them. The only place that deserves a second star is the royal bathhouse: although it is new, it is really beautiful. Well, something like that.
The place is interesting, but not completely finished yet.In general, it is very possible to see beautiful views from the observation deck of the castle.the "new castle" is located nearby
A wonderful reconstruction and a very beautiful historical building. Despite the abundance of criticism, the Old Castle has shone with new colors and pleases Grodno residents and guests of the city!
It's a cool place, especially for photo shoots. You can walk around the castle with an excursion, or you can do it yourself by buying an entrance ticket. There is an observation deck at the top.
Renovated castle, cozy and clean inside. Racks with interactive viewing and the ability to select information from a drop-down menu are especially convenient. The guidebooks are also very convenient
A wonderful place, we recommend visiting, it is better, of course, with an excursion, but for self-inspection it will also do, since the staff are willing to tell you interesting details.
A majestic place! We went up to the roof - the view is breathtaking. The Neman is at the bottom. The tour of the castle is magnificent. I advise you to visit this historical place..
Yes, this place is definitely worth a visit. but the only downside is that this is not an "old" castle, everything is new, clean and the expectations were a little different
I really liked the Old Castle in Grodno, and the views from below, above and inside! Very beautiful architecture and many interesting engineering finds inside, in particular on the installation of sauna stoves. You get beautiful photos!
I really liked the castle. We were on our own, without excursions, but we could also read on the stands ourselves, and there were a lot of excursions, you will also listen reluctantly😀
Very cool, a huge tourist destination. There are a lot of interesting things excavated by archaeologists. Recommend. There is also an old part of ancient times.
Great place, I really liked it. Friendly staff. They turn on the movie, tell everything and show everything. I am very happy with this place. Especially the observation deck of the castle.
Like almost all the sights of Belarus, nothing has been preserved, it has been restored and it no longer has any historical value and, frankly, there is nothing to see
I really liked the modern museum. You can walk without a guide. Each guest room includes a movie about a certain piece of history. Everything is carefully preserved and restored.
