DE History of the reserve
On June 14, the Dubna State Historical and Cultural Reserve celebrated its 28th anniversary. The Dubna Nature Reserve already has its own history of formation and development, which is worth telling about today. 28 years ago, and even earlier, the question arose about the state of preservation of historical, cultural and architectural monuments of ancient Dubno, and first of all - the castle of the Ostroh princes of the XV century.
Local authorities once tried to bring about the final destruction of monuments of the past, but these were ineffective measures, confined to the framework of general planning in the then system of government. Enthusiasts and devotees were needed to break the deadlock, and there were few of them.
The problem was not only money, but also the breaking of stereotypes in the minds of individual officials, on whom depended whether the majestic temples, castle, houses of the historic center under warehouses, sports facilities, various departments and whether to be the city of Dubna one of the European tourist centers.

The problem was not only money, but also the breaking of stereotypes in the minds of individual officials, on whom depended whether the majestic temples, castle, houses of the historic center under warehouses, sports facilities, various departments and whether to be the city of Dubna one of the European tourist centers.
The first attempt to resolve the issue of establishing a reserve in Dubno and granting it the status of the State Historical and Cultural Reserve was made in 1990.
This issue was discussed with Mr. V. Salata, a responsible employee of the cultural sector of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, who was in Rivne region as part of the Cabinet of Ministers, who inspected the work of departments and offices of regional executive committees, city and district executive committees.
However, the first attempt did not find support, as the 340th anniversary of the battle of the Cossack-peasant troops with the Polish army (the battle of Berestechko in 1651), which was being prepared in 1991, was approaching, and it was necessary to give this sacred place priority.

On April 19, 1989, the Prykarpattia Military District transferred the Castle to the Rivne Main Department of Architecture.
At the same time, 250,000 rubles were paid. for its operation. For three years, repair and restoration work in the Castle was carried out by the Volyn Restoration Department and the Rivne Center "Environment". To put it mildly, the work was very slow and not very good.
Unfortunately, for all three years of management so-called. The "restorers" of the Castle's premises were actually robbed - parquet, pipes, batteries, Dutch tiles, which covered the fireplaces of the XVIII century, were stolen. Part of the roof of the Lubomyrsky palace was opened and for several years both rain and snow fell on it (the good thing is that the hall with nymphs has been preserved for our descendants). It came to the point that stone was already being removed from the territory of the Castle from the dismantled medieval brick defensive walls.

In the castle yard, goats were grazed, poultry was bred, and fredok was raised. Such businessmen had to be expelled from the Castle with the help of law enforcement agencies. These violations were reported to local authorities and regional authorities, who responded by removing some business leaders. However, the state of emergency of the Castle caused serious concern and required immediate resolution of problems.
And in 3 years the Castle passed to the balance of the Dubna city council.
In February 1992, the Castle was transferred to the balance of the Dubna City Council, which established a small state enterprise "Renaissance" for restoration work. In a short time (from April 20, 1992 to January 15, 1993) the material and technical base was created and all possible works on conservation of the Castle were carried out.
At the same time, despite insufficient funding, the company "Renaissance" still overhauled part of the roof on the palace of kn. Lubomyrsky and collapsed casemates, and significant work on landscaping and protection zone of the Castle
