Lutsk, Regional capital in Volyn Oblast, Ukraine

Located along a bend of the Styr River in northwestern Ukraine, Lutsk extends across both banks with numerous bridges connecting its different districts.

The city's strategic position led to its role as capital of the Principality of Halych-Volynia until 1238, marking a period of regional dominance.

The city maintains three monasteries from the 16th to 18th centuries, alongside the Holy Trinity Cathedral which represents religious architectural traditions.

The local automobile plant manufactures vehicles designed for rural usage, while the city center contains multiple educational institutions and research facilities.

The 14th-century Lubart's Castle stands on natural defense grounds, constructed by Prince Lubart during the Lithuanian rule of the region.
