Brief historical background Lutsk is one of the most ancient cities in Ukraine. The first documentary reference about Lutsk dates back to the Hypatian Codex from 1085, when the city became the center of internecine fight between the heirs of Yaroslav the Wise. However, archaeological research give the ground to believe that the settlement on the territory of modern Lutsk was founded before the XI century. In the period of Kyiv Rus, Lutsk was the capital of a separate principality, which was part of the Volyn, and later Volyn-Galician land. In the XII century Luchesk had strong wooden fortifications that enabled to withstand a six-week siege by regiments of Yuri Dolgorukyi in the spring of 1150. During these events, his son, the young Prince Andrew was close to death. Lutsk witnessed the Tatar-Mongol invasion. The chronicle shows that in 1259 the city withstood the siege of Khan Kuremsa. In 1267 Prince Vasilko, on demand of the Khan's commander Burundai, destroyed fortifications in Brody. In the second half of the 14th century the role of Lutsk as the capital of the Volyn land became more significant due to the reign of Lubart-Demetrius. He replaced wooden fortification constructions with bricks, that changed the external appearance of Lutsk castle. After the death of Lubart, Lutsk continues to be the residence of Lithuanian- Russian princes: Vytautas (1392-1430) and Svidrigiello (1431-1452). In 1429 a Congress of European Monarchs took place in Lutsk to discuss the issues concerning protection of Europe from Ottoman Empire. On the meeting Lithuanian Prince Vytautas hosted Polish King Wladyslaw II Jagiello, the future emperor, King of Rome, Bohemia, Hungary Sigismund I of Luxembourg, King of England and Sweden Eric VII. In 1432, Lutsk was granted Magdeburg rights. As a result the citizens of Lutsk received the opportunity to elect bodies of self-government. Since the late XVI century Lutsk Castle lost its significance as a defensive fortress, but the city remains to be the social and spiritual capital of the region. Due to the large number of sacral buildings, contemporaries called it "Rome of Volyn". After the Union of Lublin in 1569, Volyn integrated into the Kingdom of Poland. Lutsk became the capital of the newly formed voivodship. At that time, the city gradually became more and more Polish. In order to prevent the Polish influence and resist consequences of the Brest Church Union (1596) in Lutsk in early XVII century a fraternity was founded. It received the official recognition of the king with the privilege to build a church and shelter. At late of XVII-XVIII centuries.

Firstly, this is due to the fact that modern society is concerned about the health state and its improvement, and secondly, there is a worsening of the population health state, an increase in the incidence rate, the spread of socially dangerous and chronic diseases, which lead to the widespread use of resort therapy and the health tourism development. Many works of modern scientists, such as B.I. Aksentiychuk, M.M. Baranovsky, H.A. Barkova, V.M. Boholyubova, V.O. Jaman, S.I. Nikitenko, K.A. Nemets, L.M. Nemets, S.V. Leonov, O.O. Lyubitseva, M.P. Malska, N.P. Melnyk, O.Ya. Romaniv, M.Yu. Rutynsky, N.V. Chernenko, L.T. Shevchuk and others, are devoted to the problems of health tourism organization. Health tourism is a travel to the resort areas for the purpose of treatment. Health tourism is divided into therapeutic, which aims at its own treatment, therapy, rehabilitation after illness, and preventive (wellness tourism), focused on maintaining the body in a healthy state and keeping the balance between human physical and psychological health [4]. Currently, traditional health resorts are no longer a place of treatment and recreation for older people, and they become a multifunctional wellness center for a wider range of consumers. The choice is made between resorts that specialize in the treatment of a particular disease and resorts of mixed type, which generally promote health and contribute to recovery and stress relief [2].

  • Gizella in the Lutsk Ghetto
    Selection from The Holocaust: A North Carolina Teacher’s Resource, North Carolina Council on the Holocaust (N.C. Dept. of Public Instruction), 2019, www.ncpublicschools.org/holocaust-council/guide/. GHETTO GIZELLA IN THE LUTSK GHETTO Gizella Gross was born in Tarnopol, Poland, in 1928. She was 11 when World War II broke out and 13 when the Nazis took over her region of the country, soon beginning their persecution of the Jews. y family was very unusual because they owned land, M and not many Jews owned land. My memories are of the house and of the soil, and how the house smelled on Shabbat [the Jewish Sab- bath]. It was scrubbed clean and I re- member the smell of the Sabbath din- ner. The candles were on the table. Later when times were bad and I felt lonely, so alone and hungry, I always thought of the candles and of the fam- ily. And I always hoped that I would be able to experience this feeling once again. Gizella, age 9 (left), with her cousin Bella and younger brother Zenon, 1937 Gizella’s family was forced to move to a small apartment in a nearby city. Her parents sent her to stay with an aunt and uncle in the city of Lutsk, hoping she would be safer—but they were soon forced into a ghetto. They created a ghetto at the edge of town and moved all the Jews into shacks. All of us had to wear yellow patches on our chests and on our backs. There was only one water pump, and it was padlocked except for one hour a day.

  • Sacred Architecture in the Area of Historical Volhynia
    E3S Web of Conferences 217, 01007 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202021701007 ERSME-2020 Sacred architecture in the area of historical Volhynia Liliia Gnatiuk1,* 1National Aviation University, Interior Design Department, Faculty of architecture, construction and design, Kyiv, Ukraine Abstract. This article discusses the genesis and historical development of the sacred complexes of historic Volhyn. Based on historical and architectural analysis, it is presented that sacred complexes of historic Volhynia were built according to the canons of temple architecture, and at the same time they have their own characteristics, related to national traditions and regional features which appeared as a result of the process of forming Christianity as a religion associated with national development in the specific study territory. The results of a comprehensive analysis of historical and archival documents found in the archives of Ukraine, Poland and Russia, as well as field research are presented. Results of system and theoretical research of significant retrospective analysis of canonical, historical and political prerequisites of sacral complexes were generalized. The concept of sacred complex structures throughout ХІ-ХІХ th centuries is suggested in correlation with the change of religious identity formation and differentiation according to religious requirements. Existence of autochthonous traditions and genuine vector of the Volhynia’s sacred complex development, considering the specific geopolitical location between East and West in the area where two different cultures collide with each other has been proved. The work is shifting statements concerning direct borrowing of architectural and stylistic components of architectural and planning structure and certain decorative elements. 1 Introduction Architecture more than other forms of art reflects the state of society, its political level, the degree of economic development, aesthetic tastes and preferences.
