The Museum of Bells in Lutsk offers a rare glimpse into campanology, housing the only collection of its kind in Ukraine. Situated within the walls of Lubart's Castle, the museum displays nearly a hundred bells dating from the 17th to the 20th centuries. The collection is diverse, featuring everything from massive church bells to small school, railway, and ship bells. Spread across two floors, the museum also serves as a gateway to the castle's ramparts, though visitors should be prepared for a very narrow and steep spiral staircase that requires careful navigation.

The Museum of Bells in Lutsk is highly regarded as a unique and 'must-see' attraction located within the Lubart's Castle complex. Reviewers frequently highlight that it is the only museum of its kind in Ukraine, featuring a fascinating collection of nearly a hundred bells from various eras and regions. The exhibits range from large church bells to specialized items like postal, ship, and even square deer bells from the Arkhangelsk region. Many visitors appreciate the added benefit of accessing the castle ramparts through the museum, which provides scenic views of the area. However, several reviews warn about the physical layout, specifically the very narrow and steep spiral staircase that can be difficult to navigate, especially when passing other visitors. Overall, it is praised for its historical value and the impressive variety of its collection.
