Berestye Archaeological Museum
Археологический музей «Берестье»
An archaeological museum inside the fortress that preserves the remains of a 13th-century wooden town, with more than two hundred ancient log houses and street planks displayed on their original site.
Archaeological excavations in the 1970s uncovered the residential area of the ancient town of Berestye, preserving 13th-century log houses, plank roads and a large number of everyday objects. The museum encloses the entire site within a hall, and visitors can look down on it from walkways. It is a rare wooden urban site in Eastern Europe. The museum sits on the Volyn defensive earthworks south of the fortress and is closed on Mondays.
