Radomysl Castle

Radomysl Castle is a restored historical complex in the town of Radomyshl, Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine, centred on a former mill site and now known for its cultural museum. It is notable for housing a museum of Ukrainian home icons and for its riverside setting.

The complex presents a museum of domestic religious icons and devotional objects, displays explaining historical paper-making and craft, and landscaped grounds used for events and visits. Visitors can walk the riverside paths and see interiors adapted for exhibition and cultural use.

The site was renovated and developed into a cultural and museum complex in the 2000s by Olha Bogomolets. The restoration reused existing mill buildings and fitted them out for exhibitions, research and public programming.
