The museum space “Okolny Castle” holds great significance for me. Here, I can fully apply my profession as a historian and scientist—bringing the past to life, making it accessible and engaging for both locals and visitors to our city. I can say with confidence: I truly love what I do. The historical connection of the collegium underground chambers to the 17th-18th centuries is especially valuable to me, as it resonates with the time and life stories of the historical figures I study. I know that many prominent Lutsk townspeople once walked these halls, within the historic Okolny Castle. I know that many prominent residents of Lutsk once walked these halls, within the historic Okolny Castle. That is why I feel a deep sense of reverence and connection—to them, their era, and their destinies.
