An excellent monument of medieval architecture. An interesting tour. The observation deck can only be reached as part of an excursion group. We called the museum's ticket office in advance and agreed to join another group, specifying at the same time how many of us (two) there were. Entrance ticket to the main exhibition (12-BYN adult)it is purchased at the ticket office + tour service (30-BYN per group). Tour groups recommend gathering 15-20 people, no more. If there are more participants in the group, then spend a lot of time moving between the tiers, along a not very wide staircase. The duration of the tour is 40-45min. They give you time to view the panoramas from the observation deck. You can view and photograph the exhibits in detail after the tour. The exhibition is at your disposal until the museum closes.

The exposition of the Kamenets Tower Museum is located on five tiers and is dedicated to the history of the city of Kamenets and the tower. It is better to take a guide - it is more interesting than just walking by yourself + you can get to the observation deck - from almost a 30-meter height you can see a picturesque picture of the modern city and its surroundings A guide for a group of up to 15 people + 30 rubles (May, 2026) to the cost of entrance tickets, which is not very cheap when you visit the tower yourself (there were 3 of us). Well, only with him they are allowed on the observation deck.

An interesting historical building (tower). Inside the tower there is a museum that tells about this region, in fact, a local museum of local lore. In order to get to the roof of the tower, it is necessary to pay separately for a personal tour, while excursions are conducted by 6 people, i.e. they will not be conducted individually for 2-4 people. Everything inside is pretty beautiful and interesting, while climbing to the top, you realize that at the top of the tower you can see the whole neighborhood, interesting, beautiful, but I wouldn't say that the view made me feel Wow! In general, for general development, I recommend visiting.

A beautifully preserved monument of defensive architecture! A mandatory item of the program if you are traveling in the Brest region. The tower looks very majestic, surrounded by a well-groomed territory and a pleasant park for walking. The museum's exposition inside is small, but capacious and fascinating. From a practical point of view, keep in mind that the stairs between the tiers are quite steep. A great attraction that helps to better understand and experience the history of the region.

The Kamenetsky Tower is a wonderful museum. After all the reconstructions, it's just a great option to explore the history of both Belarus and Brashina. Many thanks to the guide Alexander Gennadievich for his professionalism, a very interesting story and an individual approach to us as tourists. We were with children who were going to 6th grade in September, and the request was for the tour to focus only on significant moments for this age. Alexander Gennadievich told everything in detail enough to understand the course of history, it is interesting that the children would not get bored and focused on those topics that will be important to children in the next academic year. Of course, I have no illusions that the children have remembered everything, but the fact that they will remember the elements of the story in the lesson when it comes to it is for sure. Thanks again ❤️ wonderful place and wonderful tour

Interesting and informative. Before Belovezhskaya Pushcha, be sure to stop by Kamenets -these two sites are visited very often in the complex. Being in a tower that has stood for more than 5 centuries is an indescribable feeling. Tickets are inexpensive, book the tour in advance-it will reveal a little secret to you: through a special passage inside the wall you can find yourself on the roof of the tower. I definitely recommend it.

I highly recommend visiting and preferably with children, I recommend that you combine the entrance to the tower with a paid tour from a local guide. You can cooperate with people nearby on the tour, the main thing is that they will only be allowed to go to the very top of the tower with an excursion... Of course, the algorithm could be worked out, but the price is not high for this.

It's a beautiful view. We plunged into the past. I would like more maps and information. If you arrive with a disabled person, get ready to buy a ticket. Escorts come for a fee. So far, this is the only place where its laws work.

One of the most famous historical sights of Belarus, which is definitely worth a visit on the way to Belovezhskaya Pushcha. There is a parking lot nearby, everything is neat, there is a historical exposition inside on several floors of the tower. Minus two stars only for the organization of the viewing: there is an observation deck on the tower, which can only be accessed by buying a ticket for a guided tour. Why it is impossible to get in separately (albeit for a fee) remains a mystery, while the cost of the tour by Belarusian standards is rather high - 28 rubles and no one canceled the purchase of regular tickets to the exposition.

The Kamenetsky Tower, or rather the Belaya Vezha, impresses with its grandeur. She stands as a vigilant guardian and dominates the surroundings, vigilantly surveying them from her high hill. The tower is located on a hill and stands in a drainage funnel that drains water away from the tower. The entrance is at the very bottom of the funnel. Inside there is an exhibition of archaeological finds and reconstructed weapons and armor. There are five levels in the tower and there is something to see on each one. The staff is polite and sociable, they can tell a lot about the history of their native land. The entrance ticket costs 9 rubles. You can climb to the roof of the tower only with a guided tour and paying an additional 30 rubles. Parking is large and convenient. I advise everyone to visit this magnificent building.

A landmark of the 13th century. We were driving from Belovezhskaya Pushcha and it would be a crime not to stop by😁 We only took entrance tickets without guided tours. Only with a guided tour is it possible to get to the observation deck, Therefore, we did not get there(((( Before the trip, I studied all the information about this object in detail. The story is very interesting. I was especially pleased with the photos when the tower was whitewashed during the USSR and the slogan "Glory to the CPSU" was hung. Be sure to Google it)) Interesting facts about construction, site selection, defense, and restoration. Thus, this historical site deserves attention. By the way, he is the only survivor, the rest were destroyed or dismantled brick by brick.

On the way from Belovezhskaya Pushcha or vice versa, you can stop by. The city is very clean, however, like all settlements in Belarus, the inspection of the ancient tower of the 13th century took about 30 minutes (there were few visitors in the morning), there is a parking lot nearby and there is a souvenir tent. Some specimens cannot be bought throughout Belarus - in general, the place is beautiful, I recommend visiting and educating!

The legendary Belaya Vezha is a thirty-meter tower built in the 13th century, a unique structure that has been seen by everyone who has ever held a five-Belarusian ruble banknote in their hands. To say that it is impressive is to say nothing, it must be seen. But remember that access to the roof is only with a guide. However. if you are late for the start of the tour, then you can arrange it along the way (the attitude is loyal).

The tower is round with an outer diameter of 13.6 m and a wall thickness of 2.5 m. The height of the structure is about 30 m. The foundations, walls and vault of the tower are made of large-sized bricks. The five tiers, or floors, of the tower, pierced by loophole windows, were interconnected by an internal wooden staircase. The connection between the individual floors was not only via the internal staircase: from the third tier, it was possible to reach the upper platform of the tower via stone steps built into the wall. The total floor area exceeded 300 square meters, which made it possible to place many soldiers on them during the defense.

The tower is a place that will be interesting for both adults and children. Thanks to the builders from the past, historians and restorers of the present who have preserved and restored this architectural monument giving an idea of the past. On different floors of the tower, objects of everyday life from the first stone in the base to the rafter covering system are on display, but most clearly, the layout of the tower in the interior is impressive! If you're around, be sure to visit this place!

I've been to this place several times on the way from the Forest. In the summer, we managed to visit the tower with a guided tour, in January 2026 the guide was at lunch, so my friends and I just managed to walk through the 5 tiers of the tower. They were not allowed to enter the observation deck without a tour. And it's beautiful here in summer! In addition to the history of the tower, I was impressed by the swallows and the expanse that opens from the height of the observation deck. I want to come back here.

It is strange to look at the drawing from the bill) an interesting place, it was not possible to explore from the inside, since the ascent to the observation deck was only with a guide, and they were all busy, so they did not want to visit without a platform. We walked around and left without looking at the surroundings. It's worth a visit once.

The tower is interesting from the outside. But the museum is full of hats. Extremely scarce on exhibits. A mock-up of the tower, paintings, photos of the tower in different periods, tablets with textual information, potsherds, some swords. And the climax was that it was impossible to go to the observation deck, only as part of a tour group. Sorry for the money spent on THIS. You can walk around and admire it, but there's nothing to do inside.

The Kamenetskaya Tower is a well-preserved defensive structure built in the 13th century. The height of the tower is almost 30 meters. A branch of the Brest Museum of Local Lore is located inside the tower. It was not possible to inspect the exhibition, as repairs were underway in the tower, but the impressions of the visit were still excellent.

One of the most important places in Belarus. A perfectly preserved example of 13th century architecture. Special attention should be paid to the guided tour, in particular to the guide: you will learn quite a lot of interesting facts and events from the history of the city and the architectural monument. It's just a great view from the observation deck, and the museum itself is worth paying attention to.

We've been living in Brest for so many years and we couldn't find the time, but we also thought: it's just a tower, it won't be interesting. And in vain ! They were wrong. After the forest, we came here and were surprised by this tall, and even such a whole tower! Very well preserved! A lot of history was also learned that back in 1960 Khoushchev asked to repaint it in white and until 2000 it was white. There are many exhibits on 4 floors. The ticket cost 7.5 rubles per person. You can also buy souvenirs near the tower, and continue your journey through Kamianets even further.

It was a great pleasure to visit this museum! It is made inside the tower, so you need to constantly climb the stairs all the way to the top. But many floors have been made, so the transitions are not difficult. The collection is very extensive, so the exposition can really be called a full-fledged museum of local lore. It was very interesting, thank you so much for this wonderful museum!
