Established in 1993, the reserve allows visitors to explore the history of Dubno from the Middle Ages through the early 20th century.
The reserve includes Dubno Castle, dating from the 15th–18th centuries and serving as the city’s main historical landmark. In addition to the castle, the protected area includes remnants of the city’s fortifications, including the Lutsk Gate, as well as numerous religious buildings from different periods.
Among them are the Transfiguration Church from the 16th century, St. George’s Church from the 17th century, the 18th-century Carmelite convent, the Bernardine Church and its monastic cells from the 17th century, and the Church of St. John of Nepomuk from the 19th century. The 16th–17th-century synagogue holds a special place in the historic urban landscape, recalling Dubno’s multinational and multiconfessional past.
The reserve also includes St. Elijah’s Church from the early 20th century and historic secular buildings in the central part of the city dating from the 18th–19th centuries. Another important component is the Dubno Local History Museum, which houses materials related to the history, culture, and everyday life of the region.
The reserve offers an opportunity to experience Dubno as a unified historical space where defensive architecture, churches of different denominations, monastic complexes, and historic urban buildings have survived side by side. It is one of the city’s most important cultural and historical destinations and an excellent starting point for discovering its past.
