European kings, emperors, princes, voivodes, Tatar khans. They all gathered at the same time (1429) in the same place (in Lutsk Castle). Then 15 thousand guests came to the town, where only 5 thousand inhabitants lived. This is how the famous Congress of Monarchs took place. It lasted for several months. By the way, it was then that the idea of ​​uniting Europe was first voiced.

Meanwhile, a similar event took place in Peresopnytsia three hundred years ago. Today it is a village near Rivne, instead there was once a princely city with a bright history. In 1150, the most powerful rulers of Kievan Rus met here to sign peace. As a sign of this, the princes kissed the cross. And even then in Peresopnytsia played three princely weddings. This historical legend was recreated by reconstructors.
