This museum has an interesting history of origin. At the end of the 1980s, a group of employees of the Lutsk Historical and Cultural Reserve “Old Town” began painstaking work to collect the surviving bells from closed temples. This was the beginning of the current collection of the museum. The Museum of Bells in Lutsk Castle is the only museum of this type in Ukraine. It was opened in 1985 in the “Lord's Tower” — a monument of the XIV century, which was once kept at the expense of the Vladyka. The exposition of the museum presents not only church bells, but also school bells, railway, postal, bell trons, ship rings, supercharged and collar (sharkons) for equestrian trios, etc. In general, it houses a collection of bells of the XVII - early XX century, which has more than 90 exhibits. Now, however, this number is not increasing, but decreasing. In particular, 25 bells were returned to the churches. Church bells are mostly nondescript — with little ornamentation and date of manufacture. Only a few of them have relief images on religious grounds.
