Liubart's castle in Lutsk

One of the oldest preserved castles in Ukraine and the most recognizable symbol of Volyn. It was built mostly in the 1340s, although some parts of the previous stronghold dating as early as 10th century were incorporated into construction.

The image of the castle has long been used as a symbol of Lutsk. The image of the walls is present on numerous seals, coats of arms, money, badges, and postcards.

Cossack with a girl by Ukrainian contemporary artist and illustrator, Kateryna Shtanko (Катерина Штанко)*.

An illustration to the poem by Taras Shevchenko (Тарас Шевченко):

А Ярина дає зброю, На порозї стоя; Степан її надіває Та плачуть обоє. And Yaryna gives him weapon, standing on the threshold; Stepan puts it on, and they both cry.

*This illustration has been published in a book: Т. Шевченко, У нашім раї на землі..., Київ 2018. Halyna Rohach (Галина Рогач) was the editor of this volume. I do apologize everyone for my terrible mistake!

Żal cię tu samą zostawiać — mówił Bohun — żal odjeżdżać, ale mus. Lżejby było, żeby ty się uśmiechnęła, żeby krzyżyk ze szczerego serca dała.
