Homel Castle, Castle and museum complex in Gomel, Belarus.

The Homel Castle stands on the banks of the Sozh River, featuring a two-story palace with a four-story tower and a three-story wing extension.

Field Marshal Pyotr Rumyantsev constructed the castle between 1777 and 1796, replacing an earlier wooden structure owned by Michael Frederick Czartoryski.

The palace houses extensive collections containing over 229,000 items, including archaeological findings, ethnographic materials, numismatic collections, and rare books.

Located at 4 Lenin Square in central Gomel, the castle museum opens daily and contains multiple exhibition halls across different floors of the building.

The palace grounds extend 800 meters along the Sozh River, incorporating a chapel, burial vault, winter garden, watchtower, and historical park complex.
