(Translated by Google) The church was built in the 15th century. At the time when commander Suvorov lived in Kobrin, the church was located not far from his house. Suvorov was a pious man. In the temple there is a psalter of Suvorov. In Soviet times, the temple was not closed, thanks to the name of Suvorov, the communists spared this only temple. Worship services there did not stop for a single day. At the beginning of the twentieth century, they decided to move the wooden church to the outskirts of the city, and build a large stone temple in the center. In 1912, the church was consecrated in a new location. But the large stone temple was never built due to the outbreak of the First World War. (Original) Церковь была построена в XV веке. Во времена, когда в Кобрине жил полководец Суворов, церковь располагалась недалеко от его дома. Суворов был набожным человеком. В храме находится псалтырь Суворова. В советское время храм не закрывали, благодаря имени Суворова, коммунисты пощадили единственный этот храм. Богослужения в нём не прекращались ни на один день. В начале ХХ века деревянную церковь решили перенести на окраину города, а в центре построить большой каменный храм. В 1912 году церковь освятили в новом месте. А большой каменный храм так и не был построен по причине начала Первой Мировой войны.

(Translated by Google) Erected in 1862 - 1864. It was moved to the cemetery that previously belonged to the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and reconstructed in 1911. A monument of cult wooden construction. In 1920, Polish soldiers and officers who died in the Battle of Birza on September 15-17 were buried at the cemetery. The ashes of Alexander Mickiewicz, Adam Mickiewicz's younger brother, and his family rest here. On the grave is a monument in the form of a Sorrowful Angel. (Original) Ўзведзена ў 1862 - 1864 гадах. Перанесена на могілкі, якiя адносілiся раней да касцёлу Успення Найсвяцейшай Панны Марыі, і рэканструявана ў 1911 годзе. Помнік культавага драўлянага дойлідства. У 1920 годзе на могілках былі пахаваныя польскія жаўнеры і афіцэры, якія загінулі ў бітве пад Бярозай 15-17 верасня. Тут-жа спачывае прах Аляксандра Міцкевіча, малодшага брата Адама Міцкевіча, і яго сям'і. На магіле помнік у выглядзе Журботнага анёла.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful church. There is an icon shop and a “yard” for pilgrims. The Church is also called “Saved”, since it was not damaged during the Second World War, even though it was made of wood. The Lord protects her. I got married in it. She is very close to me personally. (Original) Очень красивая церковь. Есть иконная лавка и "двор" для поломников. Еще Церковь называют "Спасенная", так как во время ВОВ она не пострадала, хоть и из дерева. Хранит ее Господь. Я в ней венчался. Мне лично она очень близка.

(Translated by Google) The Church of Peter and Paul in Kobrin was a good surprise. Over the past 2 years, I have begun to get used to the fact that in the beautiful Belarusian temples and churches there is a lack of some kind of kindness or something. Profound simplicity and understanding... But today I got to the Peter and Paul Church of Kobrin and a miracle began from the entrance to the territory, some girl came up, asked if it was my first time here, then she took me and showed me the whole temple! An unusually beautiful, ancient temple with an amazing history. The service is conducted by a young and, I would say, very diligent priest. You know, I want to say about him: “He Serves God.” Even in the shop that sells candles, there is a very friendly woman working. I couldn’t help myself, I looked at the temple building, I saw skillfully painted icons and much more. And you know, I was amazed even by the patches on the wooden doors, this place is so sacred and spiritually pure. I never saw a wheelchair for the disabled at the door, or a swing for children in the yard. In such churches people are closer to God! Thank you! Glory to the Lord!!!; Yes, I also wanted to say how they sing there! This is just a place where you feel closer to God!!! (Original) Храм Петра и Павла в Кобрине , по хорошему удивил. Я уже за 2 года стала привыкать, что в прекрасных белорусских храмах и церквях, не хватает какой-то доброты что-ли. Проваславной простоты и понимания... Но вот сегодня я попала в Петропавловский храм Кобрина и с входа на территорию началось чудо, подошла какая-то девушка, поинтересовалась первый ли я раз здесь, затем провела меня и показала мне весь храм! Необыкновенно красивый, старинный, с удивительной историей храм. Службу ведёт молодой и я сказала бы, очень старательный батюшка. Знаете, хочется о нем сказать: "Он Служит Богу" Даже в лавке, которая продаёт свечи, работает очень доброжелательная женщина. Я не могла удержаться, я разглядывала здание храма, я видела искусно написанные иконы и многое другое. И знаете, меня восхищали даже латки на деревянных дверях, настолько тут намоленное и духовно чистое место. Я нигде не видела у дверей каталки для инвалидов, а во дворе качельке для детей. Вот в таких храмах люди ближе к Богу! Спасибо, Вам! Слава Господу!!!; Да, ещё хотела сказать, как там поют! Это просто место , где ты чувствуешь себя ближе к Богу!!!

Forests
Białowieża Forest, located on the border between Poland and Belarus, is a vast expanse of primary forest covering 141,885 hectares. It is one of the last remaining natural forests in Europe and is exceptional for its biodiversity conservation opportunities. The forest is home to a significant population of European bison, as well as numerous other species including reptiles, amphibians, mammals, birds, and invertebrates.
Beautiful and well preserved forest, definitly worth visiting with a guide to have all info about the trees and Flora around you. Better Luck to find animals outside of the strict protected area, in the forest, we spotted beautiful bisons and wolves !

Europe's last primeval forest hosts 800-year-old oaks with distinctive bark furrow patterns. Biologists confirm 12,000 insect species within a single square kilometer. The reintroduced European bison herd displays behavioral adaptations to tourist presence. Boardwalk trails minimize ecological disruption.

Ružany Palace

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Ružany Palace is an impressive 16th-century ruin that offers a glimpse into its glorious past. The palace, currently undergoing gradual restoration, provides a rustic and authentic experience, transporting visitors back in time. The stunning views and the play of sunlight on the castle make it a great subject for photography. While some suggest renovation and restoration, others believe that leaving it in its current state adds to its charm. The palace also houses a museum which is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Amazing place! Very rustic and so much of it is original. I feel like I am transported back to early times. I love this palace. When I was a young boy, we drove by this palace and stopped by every time to walk and see it. This year I saw it for the first time in 15 years. It’s still just as beautiful. No need for restoration, leave it as is, it’s amazing.

(Translated by Google) I have long dreamed of visiting this historical place, and now it has happened. A perfectly preserved architectural masterpiece. A very rare example of medieval architecture - a defensive temple. An Orthodox church in the Gothic style. There is a legend that in these places the Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Vitovt escaped from the pursuit that was arranged by another Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Jagiello, during their fight for the throne of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In memory of this, Vitovt founded a temple here and was present at its consecration in 1407. As a result, Jagiello became the King of Poland, and Vitovt the Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Later, having become allies, they defeated the army of the Teutonic Order in the Battle of Grunwald in 1410. Nowadays, this is an active Orthodox church, services are held, there is a parish. The church has a miraculous icon - a copy of the icon of the Mother of God "The All-Tsaritsa". (Original) Давно мечтал побывать в этом историческом месте, и вот свершилось. Прекрасно сохранившийся архитектурный шедевр. Очень редкий образец средневековой архитектуры - храм оборонительного типа. Православная церковь в готическом стиле. Есть легенда, что в этих местах великий князь ВКЛ Витовт спасся от погони, которую устроил другой великий князь ВКЛ Ягайло, во время их схватки за престол ВКЛ. В память об этом Витовт заложил здесь храм, и присутствовал при его освящении в 1407 году. В итоге, Ягайло стал королём Польши, а Витовт великим князем ВКЛ. Позднее, став союзниками, они разбили войско тевтонского ордена в Грюнвальдской битве в 1410 году. В наше время это действующий православный храм, проходят службы, есть приход. В храме есть чудотворная икона - список иконы Божией Матери "Всецарица".

(Translated by Google) Just a gorgeous defense church with a high degree of preservation. The thickness of the walls and the thoughtfulness of the design and location of the loopholes are striking. I also liked the interior decoration of the church. Ancient inscriptions in Greek can be found on the walls, found under many layers of paint. I also liked the relic of the church - the icon of the All-Tsarina, gifted with a huge number of offerings for its healing properties. The priest is very sincere and kind, it’s a pity we didn’t get to talk longer. (Original) Просто шикарная оборонная церковь с высокой степенью сохранности. Поражает толщина стен и продуманность конструкции и расположения бойниц. Понравилось и внутреннее убранство церкви. На стенах можно найти древние надписи на греческом, найденные под многими слоями краски. Понравилась и реликвия церкви - икона Всецарицы, одаренная огромным числом подношений за целительные свойства. Священник очень душевный и добрый, жаль не получилось пообщаться дольше.

(Translated by Google) CHURCH OF ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL - village of Synkovichi, Zelvensky district, Grodno region, Republic of Belarus. Modern art critics and architectural historians agree that the temple was built at the beginning of the 16th century. However, restoration work showed that the building dates back to 1320, and in 1407 it was consecrated in the presence of Prince Vytautas, who rebuilt the dilapidated castle at that time into a church-fortress. In 1880-81 The roof was replaced, a vestibule and a dome were built over the apse, and the dome over the central part of the temple was dismantled. In 1891, a rubble-brick two-tier tetrahedral bell tower was erected in front of the church, reconstructed in 2007. In 1926, the church became a branch of the novitiate of the Jesuit mission in Albertina (Slonim) and the center of the Greek Catholic parish. After the establishment of Soviet power, the church was closed. Reopened as Orthodox - in the spring of 1989. By the way, some time in the middle of the 19th century. the church belonged to Catholics, who later abandoned it. (Original) ЦЕРКОВЬ СВ. МИХАИЛА АРХАНГЕЛА - д. Сынковичи, Зельвенский р-н, Гродненская обл., РБ. Современные искусствоведы и историки архитектуры сходятся во мнении, что храм был построен все ж в начале XVI в. Однако реставрационные работы показали, что постройка относится к 1320 г., а в 1407 г. была освящена в присутствии князя Витовта, который перестроил полуразрушенный на том момент замок в церковь-крепость. В 1880-81 гг. заменена кровля, построен притвор и купол над апсидой, разобран купол над центральной частью храма. В 1891 г. перед храмом возведена бутово-кирпичная двухъярусная четырёхгранная колокольня, реконструированная в 2007 г. В 1926 церковь стала филиалом новициата иезуитской миссии в Альбертине (Слоним) и центром греко-католического прихода. После установления Советской власти церковь была закрыта. Вновь открыта как православная - весной 1989 г. Кстати, некоторое время в середине XIX в. церковь принадлежала католикам, которые позже отказались от нее.

Sparrow monument

Sights & Landmarks
Monuments & Statues
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Nestled in the heart of Baranovichi, the Sparrow monument is a delightful surprise for visitors exploring the city. Erected in 2003, this charming sculpture was born out of necessity to mask an unsightly pipe that marred the main square. While it may be small in stature, its significance and story add character to the area.
(Translated by Google) The attention of tourists is attracted by the beautiful sculptures installed in squares and on the streets. These original compositions were created to decorate the city. Each of these miniature surprises has its own story. This also applies to the monument to Sparrow in Baranovichi, which appeared in 2003. The reason for the installation of the monument was a protruding pipe that disfigured the main city square. The authorities were not at a loss and hired the famous sculptor Stanislav Tselyuk to figure out how to disguise the pipe. The artist slightly changed the shape of the pipe, making it look like a decorative pillar, and placed a bronze sparrow on its top. The sculpture, which appeared by a funny accident, served as the basis for new traditions. The sparrow quickly became the city's mascot. Students began to come to him for good luck. It is believed that if you pet the Sparrow before taking the exam, you will certainly get an easy ticket. People also come to the bird to make a wish for love or wealth. It is interesting that in the whole world there are only two monuments dedicated to sparrows. One is in Baranavichy, and the second is in Boston (USA). (Original) Внимание туристов привлекают красивые скульптуры, установленные в скверах и на улицах. Эти оригинальные композиции созданы, чтобы украшать город. У каждого из этих миниатюрных сюрпризов есть своя история. Это касается и и памятника Воробью в Барановичах, который появился в 2003 году. Причиной установки памятника послужила торчащая труба, которая уродовала главную городскую площадь. Власти не растерялись и наняли известного скульптора Станислава Целюка, чтобы тот придумал, как замаскировать трубу. Художник слегка изменил форму трубы, сделав её похожей на декоративный столб, и посадил на её верхушку бронзового воробья. Скульптура, появившаяся по забавной случайности, послужила основой новых традиций. Воробей быстро стал талисманом города. Студенты стали приходить к нему за удачей. Считается, что если погладить Воробья перед сдачей экзамена, то непременно попадётся лёгкий билет. Также к птице приходят, чтобы загадать желание о любви или богатстве. Интересно то, что во всём мире существует лишь два памятника, посвящённых воробьям. Один в Барановичах, а второй в Бостоне (США).

(Translated by Google) A great place in Baranovichi. There is a fountain nearby, although neglected, but working. The fountain is historical and reminds me of my happy youth under the Soviets, making me nostalgic for Soviet times. Right there, near the monument to a sparrow which you can easily stroke and kiss, unlike a living one, you can drink beer for only 1.5 rubles. for half a liter and eat real kebab. If you are in Baranovichi, be sure to visit it because this is the main square of the city of Baranovichi - its face. (Original) Шикарное место в Барановичах. Рядом и фонтан хоть и запущенный но работающий. Фонтан исторический и напоминает мне о моей счастливой молодости при Советах вызывая ностальгию по советским временам. Тут же около памятника воробью которого можно запросто погладить и поцеловать в отличии от живого можно выпить и пивка всего за 1.5 руб. за поллитра и поесть настоящий шашлык. Будете в барановичах - обязательно побывайте там ведь это главная площадь города Барановичи - его лицо.

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Lida Castle, a restored citadel dating back to the 14th century, is steeped in legends and celebrated in literature. Once a magnificent residence of Deputy Chancellor Pawel Stefan Sapieha, it now stands in ruins. Built around 1610, the stone castle featured an entrance gate and chapel surrounded by ramparts and bastions. Despite not everything being restored yet, it remains one of the most ancient castles in Belarus.
A beautiful place. Anyone who is a fan of history would love it, but even if you're not, I think the atmosphere over there is calming . Ideal if you really want a short trip out of the city.

This castle looks interesting. Does not look like castles l get used to see in movies and books. Still it is worth visiting. Not really huge, however conveys the Mediterranean atmosphere.

Great ancient Lithuanian castle in the middle of the town. Some heavy handed reconstruction efforts are evident all over the facade.

Visiting the castle is totally worthy. It is in very good condition, well renovated, and a lot of rooms are accessible. Won't spoil the visit, but there's a lot to see and do, like playing with middle age toys and seating in the different rooms.

Holy Trinity Roman Catholic church

Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
The Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church, located in the village of Ishkaldi, is a remarkable architectural gem that dates back to the 15th century. Constructed between 1449 and 1472, it stands as the oldest unreconstructed church in Belarus. Originally founded by Mykolaim Nemirovich as a Catholic temple, it underwent various transformations over the centuries, including a period as a Calvinist congregation before returning to its Catholic roots in 1641.
(Translated by Google) Church of the Holy Trinity, erected in the 1470s. in the village of Ishkold, is an architectural monument in the late Gothic style, which has retained its original structure to the present day. The architectural composition of the temple is an interpretation of Central European Gothic forms. The history of the temple is inextricably linked with the owner of the Ishkold estate, a representative of an ancient noble family and statesman of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania - Nikolai Ivanovich Nemirovich. In the second half of the 16th century, the owner of the town, Nikolai Radzwill Cherny, became fascinated by reformist teachings, and transferred the temple to the Calvinists. But the church did not belong to this denomination for long, since in 1641 it was returned to the Catholics in a very deplorable condition. After the suppression of the uprising of 1863, the temple was closed in 1868 was converted into an Orthodox church. During the First World War, the Shkolda church was not destroyed and was given to Catholics by the German authorities and was solemnly consecrated in 1918. (Original) Костел Св.Троицы, воздвигнутый в 1470-х гг. в д.Ишколдь, является памятником архитектуры в стиле поздней готики, который сохранил свою изначальную структуру до настоящего времени.Архитектурная композиция храма является интерпретацией среднеевропейских готических форм.История храма неразрывно связана с владельцем имения Ишколдь,представителем древнего шляхетского рода и государственным деятелем ВКЛ – Николаем Ивановичем Немировичем. Во второй половине XVI века владелец местечка Николай Радзвилл Черный, увлекшись реформаторским учением, передал храм кальвинистам.Но этой конфессии костел принадлежал недолго, поскольку в 1641 году его возвратили католикам в весьма плачевном состоянии.После подавления восстания 1863 года храм был закрыт и в 1868 году был переделан под православную церковь.Во время Первой мировой войны ишколдский костел разрушен не был и немецкими властями отдан католикам,торжественно освящен в 1918 году.

(Translated by Google) Nice place. After we stopped in, we drove further through the village and accidentally met a woman from a neighboring village whose mother lives here. She told me a lot about these places. For example, there is a dilapidated house in which, according to legend, Napoleon forgot his hat (but this is just a legend). There are a number of empty houses that were built back in the 19th century. In general, it’s an interesting village, if you’re there, talk to the locals and you’ll learn a lot (Original) Хорошее место. После того как заехали, мы поехали дальше по селу и случайно встретили женщину из соседнего села, у которой здесь живет матушка. Очень много рассказала об этих местах. Например, есть полуразрушенный дом, в котором по легенде Наполеон забыл свою шапку(но это всего лишь легенда). Есть ряд пустых домов, которые были построены еще в 19 веке. Вообщем интересное село, если там будете, то поговорите с местными, много чего узнаете

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, I arrived late and didn’t manage to get inside, but I had a very pleasant telephone conversation with Father Leonard. I can’t even believe that this church is so old, it doesn’t look like it’s almost 550 🙂 I really want to come again and visit inside! We should probably go next year for our anniversary 😊 (Original) К сожалению, приехал поздно, и попасть внутрь не получилось, но имел очень приятным телефонную беседу с ксендзом Леонардом. Даже не верится что этот костёл такой старинный, настолько он не выглядит на свои почти 550 🙂 Очень хочу приехать снова и таки побывать внутри! Наверно надо ехать в следующем году на юбилей 😊

(Translated by Google) Trinity Church in Ishkaldi. Construction 1449-1472. The oldest unreconstructed church in Belarus! Founded as a Catholic temple in 1449 by Mykolaim Nemirovich, completed in 1472. Under Nikolai Radzivil Chorny, the congregation was transformed into a Calvinist congregation. In 1641 he was returned to Catholicism. After the uprising of Kastus Kalinowski in 1863-1864, it (like a number of other Catholic churches) was closed and handed over to the Orthodox. In 1921, it began to function as a church again. After 1945, it was closed and stood empty until the late 1970s, when it was returned to the Catholics. According to some reports, during the Soviet rule, local people repeatedly defended the temple, some even put themselves under trucks to stop the removal of interior decorations (one stained glass window in the temple is even dedicated to this topic). It was restored in the 1980s and has been used as a Catholic temple ever since. Quite a good fate compared to dozens of other monuments. There are not so many buildings in Belarus that have come down to us since then in such excellent condition! If you will pass by the huge "Bison" on the Brest highway - stop here (only 5 km from the highway) to touch something truly ancient. (Original) Траецкі касцёл у Ішкалдзі. Будаўніцтва 1449-1472гг. Самы стары неперабудаваны касцёл у Беларусі! Закладзены як каталіцкі храм у 1449 г. Мікалаем Неміровічам, дабудаваны ў 1472г. Пры Мікалаі Радзівіле Чорным быў ператвораны ў кальвінкі сбор. У 1641г вернуты каталікам. Пасля паўстання Кастуся Каліноўскага ў 1863—1864гг быў (як і шэраг іншых каталіцкіх храмаў) закрыты і перададзены праваслаўным. У 1921 г. зноў пачынае дзейнічаць як касцёл. Пасля 1945 г. быў закрыты і стаяў пусты да канца 1970-х, пакуль не быў вернуты каталікам. Па некаторых звестках пры савецкай уладзе мясцовыя неаднаразова адстойвалі храм, некаторыя нават клаліся пад грузавікі, каб спыніць вываз унутранага ўбранства (гэтай тэме нават прысвечаны адзін вітраж у храме). У 1980-х рэстаўраваны і з тых часоў выкарыстоўваецца як каталіцкі храм. Даволі добры лёс у параўнанні ў дзесяткамі іншых помнікаў. У Беларусі не так шмат будынкаў, што дайшлі да нас з тых часоў у такім выдатным стане! Калі будзеце праязджаць побач з вялізным "Зубром" па брэсцкай шашы - завітайце сюды (усяго 5км ад шашы) каб дакрануцца да чагосці сапраўды старажытнага.

(Translated by Google) The chapel is a compact, square building, plastered, covered with a copper roof and crowned with a cross. It is believed that it was built on land that belonged to the Zaslavsky family (these places were called “Zaslavshchina”), and later acquired by the princes Svyatopolk-Mirsky. The Zaslavsky family was among the wealthiest and most influential in the town of Mir. It is unknown where Vladimir Zaslavsky is buried. His father and sister are buried in the Orthodox cemetery. (Original) Часовня представляет собой компактное, квадратное в плане здание, оштукатуренное, покрытое медной кровлей и увенчанное крестом. Считается, что она была возведена на земле, принадлежавшей семье Заславских (эти места называли «Заславщиной»), а позднее приобретённой князьями Святополк-Мирскими. Семья Заславских была в числе наиболее состоятельных и влиятельных в местечке Мир. Где погребен Владимир Заславский, неизвестно. Его отец и сестра похоронены на православном кладбище.

Castle
Mir Castle, a 16th-century fortification located in the town of Mir, Belarus, is a stunning example of Gothic-style architecture. The castle has been beautifully renovated and now houses a museum with well-curated displays on the history of the Radziwills. It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000. Visitors can explore its impressive interiors and enjoy picturesque grounds that include an adjoining pond.
This is a really interesting castle for anyone! I am really happy I decided to go to the castle and learn more about the history of the region. It was well worth getting the audio guide! Their is too much stuff to simply read and get through. The curators did an amazing job allowing people to go through the different towers of the castle and having people explore the castle. It was really fun to climb through the different stairs and levels. Beware for the tall people the stairs were made for smaller men!

This castle complex was by far my favorite tourist attraction in Belarus. It has been meticulously restored and the ticket covers entry to all aspects of the complex including the museum and cathedral. The signage was good and the personnel were friendly. The nearby Radziwill castle could learn about customer service from this castle. You could spend as much time as you like here and enjoy the beautiful parks surrounding the complex. I recommend at least one night in Mir to see the castle illuminated at night, at sunrise and at sunset. If I had known you can book a room in the castle I would have done that!

I don’t usually enjoy castles but this place was quite impressive and worth the ride from Minsk. Best way to reach is to rent a car for a day. Entrance to the courtyard and surrounding park is free.

In wintertime this was a fairly snowy castle located approximately 45mins from Vilnius very close to the Belarusian border. The castle was €6 for adults to visit, and the best attractions were in the multi-leveled castle tower museum. In the warmer seasons, you can go to the top.

The castle was very nice. There is also a museum in the tower and the ticket costs 6€ for adult. We even got an english guidebook. You can park outside for free.

It was quite a surprise! It is well visible from the road. Enormous walls, slightly falling down, very good exhibition in the main tower. It must be the best castle in Lithuania — way more authentic and exciting than Trakai or Vilnius, which look like stage sets; better than Kaunas too, purely because of its spectacular austere setting, which cannot have changed much since the times of crusaders.

Castle is renovated. You can get on top of main tower. There is also museum inside main tower which is small, but pleasant. I recommend it as a weekend trip from Vilnius (~40 min drive) with kids.

Nicely preserved castle with museum situated in the corner tower, which has 5 floors and open top for nice view. Entrance fee is 6 EUR per person, free if charge for children up to 7 years. Has a big yard inside and some former prisoners keeping mechanisms. Nearby wooden church and hills of Juozapinė and Aukštoja.
