Radomysl Castle — Attraction in Radomyshl Urban Hromada

Castle – the Museum of Ukrainian Home Icons. They were painted in XVII-XX centuries. Its exhibition of Christian art objects, named “The Soul of Ukraine”, is the biggest one in Ukraine. Today they are open for visitors of the Museum’s exhibition halls where has been collecting and saving from destruction over 5000 home icons for 15 years.

This collection represents the philosophy of thousand Ukrainian families from different regions of the country audits evolution throughout centuries. But in all times the Ukrainian home icons have been family heirlooms painted for individual spiritual needs of every person in family. Here you can find home Iconostasis /wall of icons/, small travelling icons, Cossack icons, Hutsul folding icons, the icons painted on canvas, casted of metal and carved on wood and also ancient wooden and stone sculptures. Travelers call all museum exhibits as “orphan” icons, thrown out of houses and saved from destruction in the times of aggressive atheism. Some of them were damaged when faith of God was persecuted.

Paper Mill Reviving good traditions of the paper mill of Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, the manual production of paper, practiced by Orthodox monks 400 years ago, for further book-publishing, was restored in the Castle. The Castle’s paper production line uses the same equipment that was used in XVII century. The paper made in Radomysl was used for printing “Chasoslov” (The Book of Hours”) – the first book ever published in Kyiv, in 1616.

The Castle’s Landscape Park, little but comfortable and nice. Only here you can see a dozen of unique kinds of iris, bred and granted to the Park by Igor Khorosh, a Ukrainian plant breeder; pink and white water lilies, English roses, magnolias and also a water-nut, Trapa rossica, enlisted into The Red Book. All exhibits are genuine!

Found this castle randomly on the internet and decided to stay for a romantic weekend. It's really nice, but if you are a foreigner expect some problems with booking and service.||||Firstly, you won't find this hotel on any booking sites, you have to book direct. They wanted payment by bank transfer which is difficult for foreigners, but we managed it eventually.||||We booked a princess room which was really nice with a four poster bed and great views. When we used the shower there was a leak and water went everywhere. We complained and was offered a lower value room. We then asked for a refund of the price difference, but said there was difficulties due to the way we paid (bank transfer). After brief discussion they upgraded us to a 2 bedroom room at no extra cost. While it was also nice and much bigger, the Princess room was still much better and romantic.||||We also ordered dinner in advance, but we were unimpressed with the quality and temperature of the food. The best thing about it was the chocolate sausage.||||Breakfast was much better, because presumably it was fresher and not cooked hours before.||||They also offer museum tours (not in English), but there are many interesting things to look at anyway and nice grounds to walk in.||||Overall it's a very nice castle and hotel, something you wouldn't expect in Ukraine. They just need to improve their service and make it easier for foreign...
