The Book Museum in Lutsk was opened in September 2005 in a building on the castle courtyard, which was originally the county treasury (treasury).

The book collection is a gift of Bishop Bartholomew, Archbishop of Rivne and Ostroh UOC. The main part of it is old prints, the oldest of which is 366 years old! This Service Gospel was published in Lviv in 1644. Another rarity is the two-volume Trebnik of Metropolitan Peter Mohyla, a famous spiritual, political and cultural figure of Ukraine. Of particular importance is added to Trebnik by the fact that it was published during the life of the Metropolitan — in 1646. In total, the exposition presents the products of six printing houses.
