The city of Lutsk is a regional center on the river. Styr, the ancient capital of Volyn. According to different versions, the name comes from the word "bow", ie. bend of the river, or on behalf of the leader of the East Slavic tribe of the Dulibs Luka, who founded the settlement. For the first time it is mentioned as the city of Lucesk in the Ipatiev Chronicle in the description of the events of 1085, when the city was seized by Prince Vladimir Monomakh, approving it as the center of the appanage principality of Ancient Rus. Having become a part of the Russian-Lithuanian state in 1320, "Luchesk the Great on Styri" (as he is mentioned in the "List of Russian cities") actually became the second capital of Lithuania. Its development was promoted by Prince Lubart, who built a stone castle. In 1429, during the reign of the Lithuanian king Vitovt, a congress of the greatest monarchs of Europe took place in Lutsk in connection with the threat from Turkey. The city owes its many religious architectural monuments to the period of Polish rule in the 16th-17th centuries. After the War of Independence and the city's incorporation into Russia, a period of decline began, aggravated by two world wars. However, all these years Lutsk remained a significant cultural center and a hotbed of Ukrainian national identity. The childhood years of the poetess Lesya Ukrainka passed here. The buildings of the historical center are well preserved and are being consistently restored. City Day is celebrated on 23 August.

Місто Луцьк - обласний центр на річці Стир, стародавня столиця Волині. Згідно з різними версіями, назва походить від слова "лук", тобто вигин річки, або від імені вождя східнослов'янського племені дулібів Луки, який заснував поселення. Вперше згадується як місто Лучеськ в Іпатіївському літописі в описі подій 1085 року, коли містом заволодів князь Володимир Мономах, затвердивши його центром удільного князівства Київської Русі. Увійшовши в 1320 році до складу русько-литовської держави, "Лучеськ Великий на Стиру" (так він згаданий в "Списку городів руських") фактично став другою столицею Литви. Його розвитку посприяв князь Любарт, який побудував кам'яний замок. У 1429 році, за часів правління литовського короля Вітовта, в Луцьку відбувся з'їзд найб ...

Його розвитку посприяв князь Любарт, який побудував кам'яний замок. У 1429 році, за часів правління литовського короля Вітовта, в Луцьку відбувся з'їзд найбільших монархів Європи в зв'язку з загрозою з боку Туреччини. Численним релігійним архітектурним пам'яткам місто зобов'язане періоду польського панування XVI-XVII ст. Після Визвольної війни та входження міста до складу Росії почався період занепаду, посилений двома світовими війнами. Однак всі ці роки Луцьк залишався значним культурним центром та осередком української національної самосвідомості. Тут пройшли дитячі роки поетеси Лесі Українки. Забудова історичного центру добре збереглася й послідовно реставрується. День міста відзначається 23 серпня.
