On the right is the Ostrozki Palace (XVI century), and on the left - the Lyubomirsky Palace (XVIII century), in which the stucco work of the Italian master Domenico Merlini has been preserved. In the 17th century, the castle was fortified with two bastions with towers designed by the engineer Vauban. The "Maiden's Tower" is associated with the legend of Princess Beata and her successful shot from a cannon at the tent of the Tatar Khan, who was besieging the castle.

For centuries, the Holy Trinity Convent in Korets was considered a spiritual fortress of Orthodoxy in Volyn.
According to legend, it was founded in 1064 by Varlaam, the first abbot of the Kyiv-Pechersk monastery. Twice ruined by nomads. In 1571, the monastery was revived by Prince Bohdan Koretsky as Resurrection Church. In 1620, the construction of a large monastery complex began on a new site, but Prince Samuel Koretsky, who converted to Catholicism, gave the new church and cell buildings to the Franciscan nuns. In the 19th century, the Catholics were expelled, and the church was rebuilt into the Trinity Cathedral in the Byzantine style. At the beginning of the 20th century, the warm John the Forerunner church and the belfry over the gate appeared.
During the Soviet rule, the monastery remained the only active nunnery in Ukraine.
The main shrine is the miraculous Korets icon of the Mother of God "Handcuffs of Sinners". On the territory is the grave of Anna Andro de Langeron, born Olenina, to whom Pushkin offered his hand and heart, dedicating to her the poem "I loved you..." after her refusal.
In the garden - an original beehive in the form of a monastery.
A special permit is required for photography on the territory.
Canonically, it reports directly to the Moscow Patriarch Kirill and is not part of the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate - the owner of the monastery is the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church.

The outstanding architectural ensemble of the defensive Holy Trinity Monastery in Mezhyrich has been decorating the cape formed by the confluence of the Viliya and Svitenka rivers for six centuries.
This monument of the Volyn school of architecture combines the traditions of ancient Rus constructive techniques with elements of Gothic-Renaissance architecture of the XV-XVII centuries.
According to legend, the Orthodox monastery at this place was founded by Kyiv-Pechersk monks during the Mongol-Tatar invasion. In the 15th century, Prince Kostyantyn Ostrozky began the construction of a wooden castle with the Trinity Church in the center of the courtyard, which became the basis of a fortified monastery. His descendants soon built a stone temple in ancient Rus forms.
At the beginning of the 17th century, the monastery came under the control of the Catholic order of Franciscans, who added Gothic and Renaissance decor to the temple, added two two-story cell buildings with paired round towers at the corners, and also surrounded the complex with stone fortress walls with crenellated defensive towers in the Renaissance style. All this gave the monastery the appearance of an elegant medieval castle.
In the middle of the 19th century, the complex was destroyed by fire, it remained abandoned for a long time.
Now the monastery has been handed over to the Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. The Mezhyrich icon of the Mother of God "Zhyttiepodavnytsia" (XVI century) crowned by Catholics is kept here - the ancestral icon of the princes of Ostroh, as well as the miraculous icon of Anthony the Great.
