I hope in time the entire castle will be restored.
August 31
A beautiful, bright and warm place, from which you absolutely do not want to leave. All floors of the tower are beautifully furnished, and the ceilings there are very unusual). Beauty! At the moment (August 2024), the entire tower of 4 floors is open to the public (including the basement, which V. S. Korotkevich wrote about in the book "Chorny Zamak Alshansky"), a large area on the lower level, where there were underground rooms and a beautiful passage with arches on the ground floor.

A very interesting historical atmospheric place, it's a pity they started to reconstruct it too late. So far, only one tower has been restored, in which a small exposition is presented - it looks pretty. Work continues and if the neighboring wing is restored and the lake next to the castle is restored, a beautiful ensemble will turn out. The basement and the first floor are now in conservation (all that remains), but these ruins look beautiful and majestic. Golshany itself seems to be steeped in history - many historical buildings have been preserved in the village, after visiting the castle in Golshany, I immediately wanted to reread V. Korotkevich's novel "The Black Castle of Olshansky". There is a Struve geodetic arc point near Golshany, if you have time, you can stop by to inspect it.

A great example of proper conservation of an old castle! Everything is carefully preserved, transparent "roofs" are made on the ruins. I really liked the system with ladders and bridges to explore every piece of the castle. The restoration of the tower is still underway, but the interior exhibits are already on display. The appearance is amazing ;) Compared to the already reconstructed castles, this feeling of the old eras has been preserved here, it is definitely worth a visit :)
I would also like guides to appear.

Repairs and restoration are underway, which pleases.The views are interesting, the exposition is sparse, but for this little money it is quite acceptable (you can see the efforts of the restorers and there are places where you can take pictures).The parking lot is large, the toilets are clean, magnets in large quantities and for every taste.

Despite the fact that the castle is in the process of restoration, you can wander around. There is even an exhibition in the tower. After visiting the castle, I even wanted to read a book by the Belarusian writer Korotkevich and watch a movie where the action takes place in this castle. Of course, the castle cannot be compared with such famous castles as Mir and Lida, but I liked it precisely because it is still in a wild state, and not licked to a shine like the rest

Inexpensive. Nicely.
Nice staff.
Paying only in cash is a minus.
But what an idea! "Climbing the abandoned" is a dream. Safe stairs along the restored object, small expositions with the history of the castle and the area, and the scale and complexity of the construction are visible.

The castle is very beautiful, next to it there are picturesque views of the surrounding area. Restoration is underway, but the 1st tower is almost done. It has several rooms where you can take photos and sit on the throne :) The entrance is very cheap, but there is very little to see there. But the place is very beautiful!

The ruins are preserved by metal and plastic, there is, by and large, nothing to look at for a long time now. But the views from the tower are beautiful, the territory is well maintained, the cost of visiting is purely symbolic, so it's worth coming. Together with the very charismatic center of the Golshan themselves, you will definitely not be disappointed! Fans of Korotkevich's novels and the old Soviet film "Black Castle Olshansky" should definitely go! MastHev))

I adored this place back in the days when it was not surrounded by a fence, hinting that there would be restoration soon. When I first visited it, there were such amazing brick arches - I ran along them and took pictures, and then I arrived there a couple of years later - but there were no arches, they collapsed! It was very sad. It's a literal feeling when a majestic story turns to dust before your eyes.
When the restoration began, it was very exciting. But I shouldn't have worried - there's a great recovery. The stairs leading to the top of the tower, which used to be difficult to imagine in all its glory, are naturally exciting and breathtaking. Small exhibition halls, but very cozy, realistic, drawing pictures from the imagination.
I highly recommend you to visit!
By some miracle, the modern human hand touches these ruins so subtly that the state of historicity and that very "mysterious energy" is preserved entirely.

Everything is done well, it's nice to come. The only thing I would like is a larger number of guides or an audio guide. Yes, we arrived in a small company, but the guide was busy with another group. Tickets are relatively cheap. Beautiful view. I hope that the reconstruction will continue, it is very interesting to see what happens next

The castle is being actively restored, the walls are almost completely new in places, the wall around the castle remains from antiquity. There is a museum, the area around is landscaped, there is a visitor center, toilet, Parking.

It's a fascinating view, but of course it's a pity that the castle is currently under reconstruction and there's not much to see. But in general, I really liked everything! There is a place to walk, you can go inside, there is a small room with stairs.

It's a very atmospheric place. But everything requires imagination and stories from the guide. Well done for starting to try to reconstruct this place. The story that happened there is just awesome.

It's very cool, we were here 14 years ago, we examined these ruins, but we couldn't even imagine that it was such a big castle, we dug up a lot. The main thing is that the ruins are preserved and not laid with new bricks, the imagination has a place to roam. Although the engineering solution for protecting walls from precipitation, in my opinion, is not the best, the pile of profile and plastic on the walls looks ridiculous, and will spoil the overall picture, and metal tracks on different tiers, as a solution, I really liked it

I really enjoyed visiting this castle. A wonderful idea with a basement, the feeling that the events in Korotkevich's book were described not so long ago and you are following in their footsteps.
In general, there is a very cozy atmosphere on the territory, I do not want to leave.
There are a lot of souvenirs in the room where tickets are sold. Admission is inexpensive. The parking lot is quite spacious. There is a toilet.

It's a beautiful place. It is pleasant that reconstruction and further excavations are taking place, but so far a small part of the castle and the entrance to the tower are available for viewing.

The reconstruction of the castle is being completed (work is still underway on the left side), the entire right side is open for viewing. I recommend first going down "inside" the ruins of the castle, and then at the base of the tower through a small unsightly door to get to the museum. You can, of course, go higher, but then skip the interesting room with the so-called "ghosts". It looks atmospheric, besides, the staircase, as I understand it, is authentic. Although the museum itself is small, and, of course, there are few exhibits there, but people are trying. A very beautiful fireplace. Well, or what he could be. I recommend. As of August 2024, the price for an independent visit is only 3!!! Rubles.

I visit this place for the third or fourth time. During the first visits, I found only ruins and preparations for restoration - conservation, or an already restored tower, but it was still closed to the public.
Now you can visit the basement and the tower. Climbing up the tower (three floors) along the way, you can go down to the playground and look inside the courtyard.
A ticket for an adult will cost 3 bel.rub., for children 2 bel.rub.
There is free parking nearby.
The toilet is free for visitors, the rest - 50 kopecks. Clean, neat, warm tap water, soap, paper - everything is there)))
I recommend visiting with the whole family with school-age children.

It's a very atmospheric place. There is history everywhere and even the rainy weather did not spoil the impression. It's a pity, such a memory of bygone years is in such a state. No special restorations are planned, only conservation. But thank you for having it too. But the guide was a little rude

I planned a trip to Polotsk, Golshany is on the way, but let's stop by. To be honest, I didn't expect much, but everything turned out to be just above all praise. 1. What I liked right away., a large parking lot, a chic toilet, the main thing is clean, those who travel a lot will understand. Then there is a ticket office (prices 2-3 rubles for an entrance ticket), friendly staff, paid for the services of a guide (10 rubles). Without a guide, visiting such facilities is not informative enough. The tour is very informative, we learned a lot of new and interesting things, thanks to the guide. The North Tower was restored in the castle, the exposition is sparse, but interesting. The castle itself is admired for its size and architecture, rich in history. Unfortunately, the funds allocated by the state are only enough for conservation measures..
I advise everyone to visit, and be sure to take a tour, you will not regret it.

Watch and cry. The ruins of the historical castle have not been preserved, but thoroughly renovated with new masonry and plaster, as well as some art objects of a fearsome appearance, mummers in synthetic suits walk around. In short, this is a la Belarusan for tourists. It is possible that this is the only way to save a historical object from complete destruction, but somehow it's all sad. On the back side of the castle there is a small hill with remnants of brickwork, on which you can sit, drink tea, look at the ruins, as well as at the pretty surrounding landscapes.

The ruins of the castle are currently (July 2024) in the process of restoration. Let's hope that Golshansky Castle will soon be on a par with Lida and Mirsky. A small ticket office sells souvenir tickets (only for cash), for which you can climb the temporary stairs to the only tower so far.

The castle is not being restored. If I understand correctly, they produce conservation. I liked the very principle of organizing the review. It is not standard and interesting. After finishing the work, you will need to look in.

The castle is still under reconstruction. But some part of it is already working. There are exhibits. The White Lady and the Black Monk were the most impressed. I would like to note that unlike other similar museums, in this one, the exhibits are not blocked by a restrictive tape and you can get close to them. It is clear that the reconstruction will continue. I will be happy to come again after its completion. The staff is very polite. The ticket price was 3 rubles.

Есть удобная бесплатная парковка, туалет, магазин с сувенирами. Сам замок проходит восстановление. Внешне доступен полностью. Внутри походить можно только по одной башне, по всем этажам. Место наполнено легендами. Это ещё один свидетель богатого наследия Беларуси и её граждан.

The feeling is twofold. On the one hand, it's good that they're trying to do something. On the other hand, everything is rolled up in metal and plastic. There's nothing to look at yet. We spent about 15 minutes. I don't understand what they show people who come from afar on an excursion?
