How many words about the actual inspections of locks? At the beginning of the reign of Sigismund Augustus, special attention was paid to the condition of the castles. Immediately the Brest Sejm of 1544 appointed a commission to describe the castles of Lithuania and Ukraine. At the beginning of 1545 (or the end of 1544) he was sent to Volyn for inspection writing" in Plamyatniki ed.

Headman Haletsyu, under whom the inventory took place, kept the castle in 1552. Some inventories have not yet been found, so in the letters of King Stanislav Augustus to the city of Braslav in 1792, an extract of the inventory of the Braslav castle of 1559 volumes is given (Archive of the Yu.-Dap.
