Beautiful place 😍
July 12
A great place to spend time is to walk without crossing. In each individual place there are actors - guides who share interesting stories with visitors exclusively in the Belarusian language, which makes the place even more atmospheric and, as a Russian speaker, the Belarusian language was quite understandable and interesting to me. It is better to come here early, because you will spend the whole day exploring the local attractions anyway. In general, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by this place and thank all those involved for their titanic work 👍

The place is gorgeous. The historical course of events has been restored. There is also a town hall, a pharmacy, a bakery mill, where they bake bread with you, there is a blacksmith shop where you can see the work of a blacksmith. There are many beautiful places to take photos. There is a museum of heraldry where you can find your surname and coat of arms.
You can sail on the Drakar ship, everything is included in the price (price 30 rubles for an adult)
There is a cafe on site where you can taste grilled meat (the price is around 20 rubles per serving).
There is a free tasting of the tincture of "Stark", which is brewed by themselves.
Contests are held with children.
There are goats and horses.
In general, there are a lot of impressions, but it takes about 6 hours to get around everything subjectively, so come in the morning.

An incredible place is the best in Belarus. A wonderful historical excursion in combination with recreation and entertainment. After paying for an entrance ticket, visitors immerse themselves in the world starting from the primitive communal system and ending with the period of INCL. In Sula there are hotels, restaurants with unique cuisine, historical sites, a beach, a horse-drawn carriage (the only one in the world!), a stable, a dragon boat. I can't describe everything. We went with our family and friends. Always a delight! There is a separate post about landscapes)

Well done to everyone who takes part in organizing excursions in Sula Park. Meeting of guests with bagpipes and drums. Boating, It is interesting to listen to the history of this place, it is wonderful for a potter, a blacksmith and a shapoval. It is interesting to hear about the origin of printing and education, go to the bakery and the estate itself.

A bomb site. I recommend a visit. Especially to ride a dragon, climb into Baba Yaga's hut on chicken legs, taste insanely delicious freshly baked bread, send a postcard to friends or family in an envelope with sealing wax and forge a real arrowhead or horseshoe with your own hands. We have to go for the whole day.

There are many attractions in the vicinity of Minsk. I managed to visit the historical park of Sula, where the Zapolsky Castle is located. In this park, they tried to reproduce the historical features of the life of Belarusians of a noble estate with its own castle. Of course, half of the buildings have not survived to this day, however, a group of initiative people of the park managed to restore and recreate what was lost. The patron of this project was Andrey Zapolsky.
The estate is located on a wide plot of land with an adjacent river of the same name along which drakkars walk in summer. It contains the castle itself, buildings of a pharmacy, a bakery, a blacksmith shop, workshops for working with wool, a distillery, a watermill, a bee-hunter's house, etc.
Inside the castle, the central hall with a huge fireplace, the base of which is harmoniously made of two massive stones, was very striking. Heating such a room required serious efforts.
The distillery has an alembic for the manufacture of distillate or moonshine.
All employees of the park speak the Belarusian language and thus support and preserve the national culture. Moreover, there is a restaurant in the park that prepares delicious dishes in a historical style.

In general, the place is very atmospheric. For a family holiday, that's what you need. There are a lot of attractions, there is a playground, you can watch the play of the battle and so on. The guides are friendly and speak Belarusian. But book the excursions in advance, because everything is scheduled for a week.
But one big minus is the restaurant and service...
Prices are above average even in Minsk. The cuisine is no longer Belarusian, but ordinary homemade, respectively, it is not worth the money.
At first, the service in the restaurant was, to put it mildly, not very good. The waitress came, threw a stack from the menu, and at the request of one of our vacationers to advise what to take, the phrase "You will read everything yourself" was expressed.
Then the waiter changed, but as they say, the first impression cannot be shown twice...

A great place to spend a vacation with family or friends. A park where you can spend the weekend. It's beautiful, informative, and fascinating. There are cafes, toilets, Parking for cars. They treat you to Vodka, bake bread. You can try yourself as a potter or a blacksmith, see the housing of an ancient man and the fishing village of the Vikings. Go to the Jewish shop and the Masson Lodge. You can ride horses and send a postcard. It is necessary to visit the witch and make a wish at the Grandfather Stone.

A very interesting place, the ticket price includes a walk on a dragon boat on the lake, a tasting of drinks, in museums and other facilities there are employees dressed in historical costumes of past eras who will give you a mini lecture of one or another object that you entered. There are a large number of attractions and recreation areas on the territory, as well as areas where you can eat. You can get lost here for 3-4 hours.

The place of one day.
I do not regret visiting, but I will not return:
"+" 1. many locations
2. to sail for free on a boat, a horse carriage (a small (very) circle).
3. in each location there is a guide who knows his business
4. If I wasn't driving, I think tasting drinks of my own production would also be nice))
"-" perhaps the only fly in the ointment is the kitchen, no, it's not bad, but it's not worth the money that they rip off for it (objectively overestimated by 30%). (If they had eaten the sandwiches they took with them, they would have put maybe 5 stars)))).

A wonderful place! It is interesting for both adults and children. I was on Friday from 14 to 17 hours approximately, the entire parking lot was occupied. They give out a bracelet and a map with all the sights at the checkout - it's perfect for an independent walk without a guide! People arrive in "waves" because of the tour buses. Between these waves, there are downturns when you can queue up and eat at the rest

A very interesting antique model, finished with taste and knowledge of history, made conscientiously. There are paintings with names and images of castles of Belarus in the hall with a Dragon, there is a room of warriors with historical remains of spearheads and cuirassiers found (?), there is a reception hall with a prince and princess and a huge fireplace. It's great that a guide accompanies you, dressed for the times of these years, usually broadcasting in Belarusian, but can tell you in both Russian and English.
The castle is still being completed.
In the courtyard of the castle there is a kitchen where a blacksmith shows and tells the story of the work of blacksmiths, their students, forging weapons and everything necessary for warriors. And during the story, he makes something in front of your eyes. My husband and I were presented with an arrowhead! They brought him to Orenburg, he lies in memory.

To say that I am indescribably delighted with this place is to say nothing. This is an amazing place of power, history, unity of the past and the present. Do not regret, take a guided tour. It's worth it. A wonderful place, great staff, a very interesting tour. We tried the local bread straight from the oven, it's something cosmic. Very tasty. We were also at the tasting. A place where I will definitely return at the first opportunity. We walked around the territory for 2.5 hours and this is very little, there was not enough time to see everything.

Everything is just fine and great... The disadvantage is parking, there are no more disadvantages. The complex is well maintained and clean, everything can be approached and examined. We went there and did not take an excursion in Russian, because the time was limited. We went through everything ourselves, we listened to something in Belarusian, but there were incomprehensible words. Whoever goes will not regret it!

It's a very interesting place. You need to come in the morning, as you will want to see a lot. Time will fly by unnoticed, magnificent history museums, super guides, the beauty around the eyes pleases and attracts. I didn't want to leave the castle at all. I highly recommend visiting.

The place is a must-visit, very atmospheric, informative, pleasant to the eye and ear, meaning excursions in the Belarusian language.But there was one big BUT.They took down the gazebo because they celebrated Prof.holiday.The impression was completely ruined and it was all the fault of the wasps.Guys, we need to do something or at least warn about such a phenomenon.It was simply not possible to relax, there was a swarm of wasps that were everywhere, and it was in all the gazebos.Many were bitten.How can you rent gazebos, knowing about such an unpleasant, and most importantly, unsafe phenomenon?Despite the first good impression of the park itself, the holiday was hopelessly spoiled.The administration's request is to understand and think about whether it is possible to endanger the health of visitors for the sake of profit.

Good for adults, it will be mediocre for modern children.
In my opinion, the price of entrance tickets is overstated by 10-15 percent.
There are a lot of cafes and restaurants on the territory, probably more than the number of expositions.
Prices are also above average.
For lovers of beautiful photos in the summer it is very beautiful.

It is a pity that after visiting the estate for the second time on November 8, all the positive impressions from the first trip disappeared. Apparently it is necessary to visit during any quests. Even the dishes at the Pan Stark restaurant are not the same as on the first visit. Of course, it's a pity that they don't keep the brand... Disappointment!

An excellent memto for exploring the history of the Republic of Belarus. Comfortable, interesting. The prices are average, there will be no pleasant surprises, but the conditions are worth it, the portions in the restaurants are large and tasty, the hotels are beautiful and well maintained. Two days is the maximum, it's no longer interesting. There are relatively many people on weekends, but it's often more fun this way. I recommend going on Friday afternoon, and leaving on Saturday or Sunday evening.

We were on a weekday on March 13th. For an insta subscription- minus 5 rubles from the ticket. We brought guests from the Russian Federation. They were very satisfied. There were few people and our 4th guide accompanied us personally. They asked me to translate incomprehensible words into Russian. The tour ends with a breakdown of the "Starkey". Everything was at a high level. Then there was an independent tour of the towns. We bought bread. We went for a ride on a horse-drawn chaise. We were in a puppet theater - special thanks to the actress of this theater!!!!We finished with a treat at the restaurant. Pancakes with a machanka are a bomb!!
And in general, it's very atmospheric, another world. We were here last time-September 2022, a lot was completed and updated.

The coolest historical place in Belarus. I was very impressed with the scope. There is not just a manor house with a cafe, but a real settlement with various buildings: a blacksmith shop, a school, a shop, etc. You can ride a cast iron boat, swim on a dragon. There are 2 restaurants on site with excellent Belarusian traditional cuisine and of course strong drinks, such as moonshine on Stark herbs. It's just a song with cucumber)

The complex is located not very far from Minsk, about an hour by car. The last 5-7 kilometers of the road are shaky (concrete, joints, cracks).
It is better to go to the complex itself in good warm, windless weather. Then you can enjoy being outdoors.
In restaurants, prices are quite high, the remoteness of the place and the monopolism of the offer affect.
There are expositions on each object... I don't know what to call people - guides? The caretakers? Storytellers? demonstrators?... You can give high marks for their work. Well done. Professionals. In general, the staff is well chosen.
Perhaps the concept may resemble other locations located in Belarus, but there is a shade of perception.
It's worth a trip at least once, but I repeat - choose the weather.
