Old Castle
About This Museum
People don't just come to Hrodna's Old Castle for the artifacts; they come for the feeling of stepping directly into a 19th-century postcard, one with a breathtaking view over the Neman River. Inside, the grand, high-ceilinged halls provide a suitably dramatic home for everything from ancient archaeological digs to more recent stories of the city's past. You might find yourself lost in the intricate details of a medieval knight's armor one moment, and admiring delicate, centuries-old textiles the next. It’s a place that feels less like a sterile museum and more like a rummage through the region’s most fascinating attic.
Collection Highlights
Look for the impressive display of weaponry and knightly armor, which brings the region's medieval history to life. The collection of traditional Belarusian folk art and textiles provides a vibrant splash of color and culture.
Visitor Information
You'll find it tucked away at Zamkavy Tupik 20—it's that grand building you can't miss on the riverbank. Wandering the grounds outside is just as rewarding as seeing the exhibits inside, so be sure to leave time for both.
Architecture & Building
A stately 19th-century castle built from red brick and stone, featuring classic defensive elements like thick walls and a prominent tower, all designed to command its position overlooking the water.
