Main characteristics of the districts
District No. 1. "OLD TOWN"
The "Old Town" district is located in the southwestern part of the city of Lutsk, where 3,200 people live. The district covers an area of 49 ha.This district is the historical core of our city, a treasury of the history of the 912-year-old Lutsk. Here, in the bend of the Styr River, on an ancient island, more than 70% of all the city's historical and cultural monuments are concentrated.
Next to the Upper and outer castles, the oldest religious and residential buildings, are located the buildings of the city's first school, hospital, pharmacy, printing house, post office and other institutions. Since 1985, the complex of monuments of the Old Town has been declared a historical and cultural reserve.
Currently, on the territory of the reserve there are 4 active churches (Holy Protection Church, Exaltation of the Cross Church, the Kirche, and the Peter and Paul Church), historical residential buildings with service establishments are being recreated, and there are 4 household service enterprises: a bathhouse, a dry cleaner, a barbershop, and a shoe repair shop; the "Dynamo" sports complex, pharmacies, food and manufactured goods stores, and the "Crown of Vytautas" restaurant.
Capital repairs, reconstruction of historical buildings and landscaping of this district will make it possible to create and open an interesting historical and tourist route by 2006 and to join the association of historical cities of Ukraine.
To achieve this goal, the "New Ancient Lutsk" program for the period until 2006 has been developed.
