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 was without a tour. A little limited in time. If you read everything, it's interesting, if you just run through it quickly, then it seems to me it won't be very clear. The caretakers generally answer questions. You can ask them.
It is a very historical place, located on the Neman River. There are many floors, there is a toilet. The museum is absolutely free
A very fascinating observation deck on the river.
5 stars is a tribute to the authorities of the country, who find money to restore historical monuments. Everything here is done with a soul, for me a new model or not does not matter, for the study of history it does not matter whether you see the original or a modern copy. If you like authentic abandoned buildings, come to St. Petersburg, we have dozens, if not hundreds of such objects.. Everything is done wisely here, halls, playground, shops. You can park at the synagogue, there is a large, free parking.
To be honest, the old castle disappointed me a little. He's not very interesting. Although it's funny to compare Chita royal castle with the current living conditions compared to which, in my opinion, the kings did not live very well. Honest rooms are cold, well, and other inconveniences. Most of all, I did not like the appearance of royal persons who are more like toads. Probably it was not very humane rulers. And I would also like to leave wishes to the museum staff so that they somehow treat visitors a little kinder. In particular, the employee of the highest room, I mean on the last top floor. Although they can be understood, you sit all day in the same walls and just watch. Would it be the same if we built a creative society in which every person could work as he wants, would receive an unconditional basic income of 10,000 free housing from society and would not have any stupid flighty stupid greedy rulers over his head in any country in the world. Because in the age of high technology, it is very stupid to believe that we ourselves cannot manage society with the help of Internet technologies, and a hundred times better than it is now done by the hands of hundreds of selfish and not always good people. And judging by the faces of the rulers in the old castle in those days it was no better. And in particular, I do not recommend visiting the old castle to those for whom it is painful to overcome a bunch of stairs because there are a lot of them there.
A well-restored castle. Even if not everything is observed with the antiquity, but on the whole it turned out very well. Excellent viewing platforms, good views. I would visit more than once
I'm from Minsk myself, but I really liked the castle, everything is shown there in detail, for example: how the king lived. I advise everyone to visit this place.
Grodno is a favorite city, we visited it 2 times this summer, both times we took a guided tour of the city. The old castle was visited during the tour, we did not go inside, but it is beautiful outside, and the location is simply gorgeous: there is a beautiful view of the city and the Neman.
If you are in Grodno, you should definitely visit the Old Castle, plunge into the history of the creation and construction of the city. The price of the excursion is adequate, there are a lot of impressions 👍
I liked the presentation of information on the cuar code, I don't even need a guide. But you need the Internet and a smartphone. If you have not been there before, then be sure to visit.

A great place with beautiful views and beautiful architecture, we enjoyed the beauty and highly recommend you to visit if you are in this wonderful city!
The old castle was very, very impressed with its beauty and history. The museum staff tell everything in detail and interestingly. We will definitely come again
A very cool and interesting place! One of the pearls of wonderful Grodno. You can take unique photos of both the castle itself and the view from the observation deck on the roof. A good souvenir corner with things made by local residents (and not only).
The restoration is still in progress, as we understood, we would really like to visit when it is completed.
Great place! A wonderful tour! Parking at the Synagogue... There is still a lot of work for the restorers, but the work done is impressive!!! I recommend you to visit!!!
A very beautiful castle! Both inside and out, it's very interesting to walk around there. And it also offers beautiful views. Both children and adults will like it
At first, the impressions are vague, but with each corner the castle reveals new interesting locations. I advise you to start the inspection from the very top: it's more convenient and easier this way! Because from the outside it seems small, but wandering inside, you are surprised at the rooms inside! Plus, a huge area is still under reconstruction. It does not overlap with the new castle in terms of expositions. Therefore, if you want impressions, I advise you to watch both.
We were in the Old Castle. The installations are very beautifully made. Interesting. Excellent observation deck.
It is a pity that another part of the castle is under restoration. I hope it will be interesting in the future as well.
Very thorough and high-quality reconstruction!!!
The exposition is rich! There are sections of original ancient paving stones in the courtyard.
The view from the observation decks is magnificent!
I really liked the house church and the "bathroom".And the white corridors also look atmospheric.Only with the observation deck, the weather failed.However, in sunny weather, most likely the photos are amazing
The perfect location for a photo is in this place. You can see the castle, the river, and the green grass) Inside the castle is very interesting, we liked it. You can climb to the top, there are very beautiful views from there!)
The most beautiful place in Grodno. A great place for a photo shoot. The view from the New Castle is impressive. The location and architecture itself are fascinating.
The castle is still in the process of reconstruction, it will be fully opened only in 2024. There was almost nothing left of the antiquity in the castle, but they were able to restore it quite clearly, they did not really like the interactive exposition right on the windshields with exhibits. Prices for visits to the castle bite, but once in a lifetime it's worth a visit. There is a good souvenir shop in the castle with reasonable prices.
It's amazing! Both the territory and the interiors. Be sure to visit this place, and if possible, just take a walk in silence through its corridors and rooms without a tour. Immersion in the atmosphere is guaranteed)))
This is the most interesting, beautiful and technologically advanced museum. You will definitely visit Grodno. The most excellent exposition. For convenience, it is equipped with transparent touch screens for the convenience of familiarization with the exposition. I was honestly very surprised by this, considering that the restoration took place at the expense of the state.
And from the observation deck you can see the most beautiful city on the Neman.
Part of the castle is under reconstruction, but I really liked the one that is open. The museum staff talked about the expositions in an interesting way.
Large-scale restoration work makes it difficult to appreciate the uniqueness of the place, little remains of the original exhibits. But the place is definitely a must-visit in Grodno!
I enjoyed walking around the castle of King Stefan Batory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. But on the last one in his private room (where there is still a bust of Caesar), I noticed a strange inscription - @grimace. It turns out it was a link to the tg channel. There was also a stately bust of Odysseus by the inscription. I like.
An interesting museum, well equipped. Interactive storefronts, projectors, information terminals. Both adults and children are interested in such museums.
