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!Price per person 150 uahRestaurant inside

Really nice location, beautiful scenery and design. The castle itself is well renovated and preserved. However, we stayed for two nights and were extremely disappointed by the food and service. The food served by the hotel restaurant is simple and too expensive. We felt like we were bothering them. The room was not cleaned the second day and we were told by the personal that this was common practice.Special thank you note to Yuliya who was really helpful, professional and hospitable.

Very interesting place.

The castle looks good in this rural area but the staff is badly rude and unfriendly. I guess this is a bad fate of many Ukrainian remarkable places.

An amazing castle, fully restored and offers hotel rooms. One of a kind experience

4 stars only because thousand pictures provide no sense of touching something unique , there is a restaurant and hotel inside

Very beautiful place

It worth to stop here passing by.

A wonderful place to visit and spend a day. Food us not the best but the environment and feeling mite than offsets this. Friendly tour guides I feels like ppl love working there. Interesting history.

An unexpected place on the map of Ukraine, a hotel and a museum impress with their authenticity. In my opinion, a must visit!

Nicely maintained place, there is a park outside and a well kept estate with a hotel and medieval icons museum inside. Everything is beautiful, though the territory is rather small and its hard to spend more than 2 hours here. A boat can be rent beside the lake.

Awesome place, a must see! Best in the Summer or Spring time when the flowers are in full bloom. Great place for a date also. Shows a lot of great history of this area and the major trade routes that passed in through here back in the day.

Its tiny place, worth a trip if you have nothing else to visit or see

Nice place. Worth to be visited.

Nice place for 1-day short trip. In the castle there’s nice collection folk Ukrainian icons

Amazing winter fairy tale! Great place with nice photo opportunities

Very cozy and nicely kept castle with a hotel inside.

An extremely beautiful place to spend a day. It has a big collection of Ukrainian home icons.

Very nice place to spend your free day. Highly r commended for those who like church icons!

Great castle. As suggested by other contributors take a blanket and some food with you, you can arrange your own picturesque picnic. Worth visiting the show where they replicate making of paper and printing the way it had been done centuries ago. This show starts at the beginning of each hour, if Im not mistaken.It took our family of 3 couple hours to enjoy the castle and its premises.

Original place near Kyiv. You can eat and drink but meals are like fastfood without soul.

Very nice hotel and nice place!

Very good, beautiful, but a bit overpriced

Beautiful, worse to visit 100% also a place to come back

Nice, cosy and clean place, neat surrounding park. The castle is in very good condition. The only reason not to mark five stars is that interior is fully commemorated to religious icons and there is almost no medieval or related items.

Good place, worth visiting!

It was closed. Open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday + national holidays

Rich and in a good shape. Atmospheric mansion, all kept and with the fine collection of household orthodox icons. Audio there is a hotel in house and the folk tavern. Can easily spend free hours there.

A lot more interesting than it looks overall, theres a huge assortment of religious paintings collected with different painting styles from all over Ukraine. Park is beautifully maintained. Theres nothing to visit around it though, and the road to it is pretty bad - riddled with holes that can potentially damage your car.

Very good museum, definitely worth visit.You can try yourself in making paper there.

Better than expected. Clean and organized which is unlike many other tourist destinations in the area!

A small but wonderful place for a weekend trip! Particularly wonderful impressions of the Museum of Icons and Papyrnya! And in the castle restaurant it’s not tasty and expensive (

Wonderful place with charming atmosphere

One of the biggest exhibition of iconic art in Europe, paper factory museum, master-classses how to make paper.Restaurant is not good, though.

Nice but not original.

Really nice place to visit and spent time walking in park and special museum of old icons. The only minus is the road to the town.

Nice place. Great collection of native Ukrainian medieval appliances and church icons.

Just not much to it. Overpriced.

Nice place to visit. Good collection of traditional art and beatiful park near the castle😍A good option to spend half of the weekend.

Radomyshl a wonderfull place with an excellent collection of icons

The place is nice, the views are great but we arrive at the not mention day-off. No way to get on the territory.

Expensive but quite entertaining.

Good place to have a calm, peaceful rest. Local cuisine is so-so

Cool place, the castle looks like factory. The kitchen is not so well.

Wonderful place to spend a weekend with dearest people!

Its old water mill that was rebuilt as the private museum. Interesting place near Kyiv.

Great getaway place w Bed@Breakfast. Taste the local food with waiters serving in folk outfits. Great customer service. If you value Ukrainian traditional icons, they have a great collection on exhibition

Qualitative time at weekend. Nice exhibition and picturesque landscape.

Very nice territory, big collection of holy paintings. Good for one day trip

Great place with a perfect collection of Ukrainian icons and other household things collected from all over Ukraine
