Beating your own lunch to death was great.

(Translated by Google) Warm atmosphere, I didn’t want to leave. Calm and somehow homely. The animals are friendly and enjoy eating treats, which can be purchased at the same place where tickets are sold. A children's bucket of treats costs 300 rubles. They conduct a master class on milking a goat, the cost is 400 rubles. Then tasting of arrogant milk, ~50 g. There is a cafe, the prices are reasonable. Hamburger with minced ostrich cutlet. You can buy a piece of raw ostrich meat. I don’t know the prices for it in other places, here the price is 3500 rubles, ~1 kg per piece. A little expensive for my pocket. Homemade compote at a price of 350 rubles per liter jug. There is homemade ice cream packed in plastic cups and served with wooden sticks. Very tasty. Entrance without excursion 800 rub. adult and 400 rubles for children, unlimited time. I recommend visiting this place! (Original) Тëплая атмосфера, аж уезжать не хотелось. Спокойно и как-то по домашнему. Животные приветливые и с удовольствием кушают угощения, которые можно приобрести там же где и билеты. Детское ведро угощений стоит 300 руб. Проводят мастер класс по дойке козы, стоимость 400 руб. Потом дегустация надменного молока, ~50 гр. Есть кафе, цены приемлемые. Гамбургер с котлетой из страусиного фарша. Можно приобрести кусок сырого страусиного мяса. Цен в других местах на него не знаю, здесь цена 3500 руб, в куске ~1кг. Для моего кармана дороговато. Домашний компот по цене 350 руб за литр кувшина. Есть домашнее мороженое упаковано в пластиковые стаканы, к ниме дают деревянные палочки. Очень вкусное. Вход без экскурсии 800 руб. взрослый и 400 руб детский, по времени неограничено. Рекомендую посетить это место!

(Translated by Google) An extremely interesting place. Ostriches, emus, rabbits, llamas, goats, pigs. You can pet them and feed them. The children are delighted to visit the farm. The guide, Natalya, is a wonderful person, she loves children and animals, and she conducts the tour in a fascinating way, telling details about the way of life of animals in the wild and on the farm. (Original) Необычайно интересное место. Страусы, эму, кролики, лама, козы, свиньи. Их можно погладить, покормить. Дети в восторге от посещения фермы. Экскурсовод Наталья замечательный человек, любит детей и животных, экскурсию проводит увлекательно, рассказывая подробности об образе жизни животных в дикой природе и на ферме.

(Translated by Google) The whole family and a 9-year-old child went on an excursion on Sunday at 15.00, we really enjoyed it. A good guide (he talks interestingly, puts children at ease), polite staff. We were delighted with the ostrich egg (they let us hold it) and the emu egg. There are also geese and chickens, peacocks, goats, pigs, alpacas, and rabbits. All animals are well-groomed. The child liked that the animals could be fed (vegetables can be purchased at the entrance). There is also a delicious cafe where you can try ostrich meat dishes. Time flew by. We will definitely come again! (Original) Были всей семьёй с ребенком 9 лет в воскресенье на экскурсии в 15.00, нам очень понравилось. Хороший экскурсовод (интересно рассказывает, располагает к себе детей), вежливый персонал. Были в восторге от страусиного яйца (дали подержать) и яйца эму. Также есть гуси и куры, павлины, козлики, свиньи, альпака, кролики. Все животные ухоженные. Ребенку понравилось, что животных можно покормить (овощи можно приобрести на входе). Также есть вкусное кафе, где можно попробовать блюда из мяса страуса. Время пролетело незаметно. Обязательно приедем снова!

(Translated by Google) I really liked the farm. Entrance for children under 14 years old is 200 rubles, for adults 400 rubles. There is a cafe on the territory where you can taste dishes made from ostrich meat or an ostrich egg omelette. It is also possible to buy this meat. They conduct excursions around the farm there, a very interesting thing) In addition to ostriches, there are other animals there. All of them can be fed, including ostriches. In general, I liked everything! (Original) Мне очень понравилась ферма. Вход для детей до 14 лет 200р, для взрослых 400р.На территории есть кафе, в котором можно отведать яства из страусиного мяса или омлет из страусиного яйца. Так же возможно купить это мясо. Там проводят экскурсии по ферме, очень занятное дело) Кроме страусов там есть и другие животные. Всех их можно покормить, включая страусов. В общем, мне все понравилось!

(Translated by Google) We came in December 2020. The weather was excellent, sunny, no wind - it was nice to take a walk. Winter. And there is no more dirt. The downside is that ostriches don't lay eggs anymore - you can't buy eggs. A child's main delight is feeding ostriches by hand. They don't bite, but they may occasionally pinch your hand a little. Moreover, you need to feed without gloves, as they can easily take them off. Cheerful birds. While he was feeding one, the second one pulled out a cash receipt from his pocket. He took it away and gave me cabbage :) . If you are going on a tour, you don’t have to buy cups of food, they will most likely get in the way - the guide has a bucket of cabbage. It’s better to take a tour, it’s more interesting. Two adults with a child 8 years old and 2 glasses of food - 2000 rubles. Either on your own or feed the goats later, the food will come in handy. The goats roam freely around the area and beg for treats. It is interesting to feed them carrots by hand. Cards are accepted. There is a cafe and it has a pretty decent toilet. You have to place your order on the street and then they deliver it. Usually you need to wait 15 minutes. We tried an ostrich egg omelette (I couldn’t tell the difference) and an ostrich burger. The meat is lean, something between turkey and beef. A wood-burning samovar was boiling in the yard, I was drawn to it, but the tea was from tea bags. So we used our thermos. We walked leisurely for about 3 hours and went home. The road is good. (Original) Приезжали в декабре 2020. Погода отличная, солнышко, ветра нет - приятно погулять. Зима. И уже нет грязи. Минус - разве что страусы уже не несутся - яйцо купить нельзя. Основной восторг у ребенка - это кормление страусов с руки. Они не кусаются, но могут случайно немного ущипнуть за руку. Причем, кормить нужно без перчаток, так как они легко их снимают. Веселые птички. Пока кормил одного, второй вытащил кассовый чек из кармана. Отнял, дал капусты :) . Если идете с экскурсией, стаканчики с кормом можно не покупать, они скорее будут мешаться - у экскурсовода есть ведро с капустой. Экскурсию лучше брать, так интересней. Двое взрослых с ребенком 8 лет и 2 стакана корма - 2000 руб . Самостоятельно или потом покормить коз, корм да, пригодится. Козы свободно гуляют по территории и вымогают угощение. Их интересно покормить с рук морковью. Карты принимают. Есть кафе и в нем вполне приличный туалет. Заказ нужно делать на улице, потом приносят. Обычно нужно минут 15 подождать. Попробовали омлет из страусинного яйца (разницы не понял) и бургер из страуса. Мясо нежирное, что-то среднее между индейкой и говядиной. На дворе кипел самовар на дровах, тянуло к нему, но чай был из пакетиков. Поэтому мы воспользовались своим термосом. Погуляли неспешно часика 3, и домой. Дорога хорошая.

(Translated by Google) Entrance costs significant money (600 rubles per ticket per person), but the territory is not particularly landscaped - apparently, the flow of visitors is not sufficient. On the territory there are ostriches, goats, sheep, pigs, a donkey, horses, several poultry houses, etc. There is a shop and cafe. Animators for children work on weekends. There are also excursions available. In general, it’s worth a trip once))) (Original) Вход стоит ощутимых денег (600 рублей за билет на человека), но территория не особо благоустроена - видимо, поток посетителей не достаточен. На территории есть страусы, козы, овцы, свиньи, ослик, кони, несколько птичников и т.д. Есть магазинчик-кафе. По выходным работают аниматоры для детей. Также, проводятся экскурсии. В-общем, разок съездить стоит)))

Its a beautiful park, a large variety of each type of birds and a few animals as well.Good for adults and excellent for young students/kids.Ample place for parking.There are restaurants inside the park as well as outside. Its a good option for a day picnic.Well maintained. Entry fees worth the visit. Why only 4 stars..I am animal lover, seeing caged animals/ birds is painful.

Great for kids to catch up on chicken variety. Plenty of animals to observe at close distance, so much better than Moscow's Zoo! Note, they do not accept cards.

Such a beautiful place, especially at the summer time. Recommend you to come here and relax, watching different kinds of exotic animals;)

Amazing place. Better than Moscow Zoo. Lots of birds and animals.

Great selection of animals (we've been there only in the half on the park, left hand side, didn't have time for "tropical" part). That has exceeded my expectations, nice and spacious place, well arranged. I must say we've been there on the 1st of January so it was almost empty, no visitors. At least that (I mean anything like that working on the the 1st of January) can tell one a lot ;) Nice place to take children but also quite interesting park for adults.

It's so cool place and very enjoyable.

Magnificent zoo, with focus on birds. Many species and not only birds. The otter and the ostrich are also very nice. We visited in winter so half of the animals were hidden. But even the remaining accesible part was so magnificent! We spent several hours here and were much exhaused before we finished the first part of the park. Will be back in spring to see the rest of the animals.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful place, first of all, it is a large, well-kept old park. But, probably, the only original exhibit of the museum is the famous Turgenev oak. The estate itself was on fire and was being rebuilt. According to the guide, only the outbuilding remained. The estate is painted in bright colors. Turgenev rarely visited the estate; he preferred Paris. The museum itself has a good European-quality renovation; there are several original pieces of furniture from the Turgenev family. Is photography prohibited inside the museum?! although there is nothing special to shoot. Very beautiful Church of the Transfiguration. Be sure to visit it. (Original) Прекрасное место, прежде всего, это большой, ухоженный старый парк. Но, наверное, единственный оригинальный экспонат музея - это знаменитый тургеневский дуб. Сама усадьба, горела перестраивалась. Со слов экскурсовода - остался только флигель. Выкрашена усадьба в яркие цвета. Тургенев бывал в усадьбе редко, предпочитал Париж. В самом музее хороший евроремонт, есть несколько подлинные предметов мебели семьи Тургеневых. Фотографировать внутри музея запрещено?! хотя снимать особо и нечего. Очень красивая церковь Спаса Преображения. Обязательно ее посетите.

(Translated by Google) Spasskoye-Lutovinovo... How can you not write stories here!? Silence, tranquility, centuries-old trees, an oak tree planted by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev, Savina pond... If you are lucky enough to visit the estate, book a comprehensive excursion, it lasts a little more than two hours and costs a penny (380 or 500 rubles, depending on the exposition). It’s better in the summer, a walk through the park takes up the main part of the excursion and be sure to take a ride through the park with a cab driver, it costs only 150 rubles!!!. Unfortunately, the manor house is closed for two years for restoration, but this does not spoil the overall picture. Be sure to take a walk through the village, at the other end there is a little chapel, the history of which will be told to you by the guide in the estate itself, if you ask him about it. Well, and ... "bow to my young man, bow to my homeland..." three to five hours will be enough to visit the estate, there is no hotel in Spassky, there are no restaurants either, 10 km away is the ancient city of Mtsensk on the Zusha River, you can have a snack there before returning home and ... visits to Tolstoy in Yasnaya Polyana, which is on the way to Moscow. (Original) Спасское-Лутовиново... Как же здесь не писать рассказы!? Тишь, умиротворение, вековые деревья, дуб, посаженый Иваном Сергеевичем Тургеневым, пруд Савиной... Если Вам посчастливица побывать в усадьбе, закажите комплексную экскурсию, длится чуть больше двух часов, стоит копейки (380 или 500 рублей, в зависимости от экспозиции). Лучше летом, прогулка по парку занимает основную часть экскурсии и обязательно прокатилась с извозчиком по парку, это стоит всего 150 рублей!!!. К сожалению дом-усадьба закрыт на два года на реставрацию, но общую картину это не портит. Обязательно погуляйтесь через деревню, на другом её конце часовенька, историю которой вам расскажет гид в самой усадьбе, если попросите его об этом. Ну , и ..."дудку моему молодому , родине поклонитесь..." для посещения усадьбы хватит трёх-пяти часов, гостиницы в Спасском нет, ресторанов тоже, в 10 км старинный город Мценск на реке Зуша, там можно перекусить перед возвращением домой и ... заездов в к Толстому в Ясную Поляну, что по пути в Москву.

(Translated by Google) It is necessary to take a tour, because there is no other way to get to the house-museum. Some interesting details from the guide. It was a routine in the house that at a certain time everyone would go downstairs to the dining room to eat. It was believed that those staying in the house remained in the status of a guest for 3 days, and they were given concessions - they were fed when they were hungry. On the 4th day, those living were considered members of the household and could no longer claim lunch/dinner at an unspecified time. Many of Turgenev’s friends visited the house - Nekrasov, Fet, and Leo Tolstoy especially loved the estate. Turgenev himself also loved the family nest very much, and in his letters to Flaubert he often described the estate. In general, 5 of the writer’s 6 novels were written here. In the office there is a very beautiful Byzantine image of the Savior. Despite the fact that Turgenev was not a believer, he ordered that the image not be removed from the estate. Unfortunately, out of 20 thousand exhibits, only 5 thousand remain, the rest were lost. The original books are exhibited in the Turgenev house-museum in Orel. On the territory of the estate there is the Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior, consecrated in 1809, as well as a chapel where the ashes of the founder of the estate are buried. I.S. Turgenev came to Spasskoye-Lutovinovo for the last time in 1881. In the spring of 1882 he became very ill, and on September 3 he died of spinal cancer. In the park on the territory there is an oak tree that Turgenev planted with his own hands in his youth. It is now one of the tallest and widest-girth trees on the entire estate. The oak is about 200 years old. The park itself occupies 40 hectares, mixed, the alleys are linden, lined with the Roman numeral XIX. Previously, the park was home to about 42 species of birds. For entertainment (summer), you can ride boats, ride a carriage, or ride horses. Practical information. Getting there by public transport is very inconvenient; the bus from the Mtsensk bus station takes about half an hour and runs a couple of times a day. One at lunchtime, one at evening. The final stop is Spasskoye-Lutovinovo, you need to get off a little earlier, ask the locals, they will tell you which stop is closest to the ticket office. On the way back, it makes sense to walk past the exhibition center in the direction of the school to the memorial to those killed in the Great Patriotic War. The stop is located near the store, so you can grab a seat on the bus. (Original) Экскурсию брать обязательно, потому что в дом-музей по-другому не попасть. Несколько интересных подробностей от экскурсовода. В доме было заведено, что в определенное время все спускались вниз в столовую кушать. Считалось, что гостившие в доме пребывают в статусе гостя 3 дня, и им делали поблажки – кормили тогда, когда они были голодны. На 4 день живущие считались домочадцами и претендовать на обед/ужин в неустановленное время больше не могли. В доме гостили многие друзья Тургенева, – Некрасов, Фет, а особенно усадьбу любил Лев Толстой. Сам Тургенев тоже очень любил родовое гнездо, и в своих письмах Флоберу часто описывал усадьбу. Вообще, здесь написаны 5 из 6 романов писателя. В кабинете есть очень красивый византийский образ Спаса. Несмотря на то, что Тургенев не был верующим, он приказал не убирать образ из усадьбы. К сожалению, из 20 тысяч экспонатов осталось только 5 тысяч, остальные утеряны. Оригиналы книг выставлены в доме-музее Тургенева в Орле. На территории усадьбы есть Храм Спаса Преображения, освящен в 1809 году, а также часовня, где захоронен прах основателя усадьбы. И.С. Тургенев приезжал в Спасское-Лутовиново в последний раз в 1881 году. Весной 1882 года он сильно заболел, и 3 сентября умер от рака позвоночника. В парке на территории сохранился дуб, который Тургенев посадил в молодости своими руками. Сейчас это одно из самых высоких и самое широкое в обхвате дерево во всем поместье. Дубу около 200 лет. Сам парк занимает 40га, смешанный, аллеи – липовые, выложены римской цифрой XIX. Ранее в парке обитали около 42 видов птиц. Из развлечений (летних) можно покататься на лодках, в карете, на лошадях. Практическая информация. Общественным транспортом добираться очень неудобно, автобус от автостанции Мценска идет около получаса, ходит пару раз в день. Один – в обеденное время, один – в вечернее. Конечная остановка – Спасское-Лутовиново, нужно выйти немного раньше, спросите у местных, они подскажут, какая остановка ближе к кассам. Обратно имеет смысл пройти мимо выставочного центра в направлении школы к мемориалу погибшим в Великой Отечественной войне. Остановка расположена около магазина, так сможете занять место в автобусе.

(Translated by Google) A stunning, most beautiful place where you can relax from the bustle of the city among the giant trees) the museum complex is located not far from the city of Mtsensk (where trains go) There are cafes, toilets, and benches for relaxation on the territory. Green carpet of grass all around (in summer) horseback riding. Excursions are provided both group and individual, upon your request. Professional, competent and polite guides tell in great detail the history of the Turgenev family and the events of the writer’s life. Holidays and festivals are held here (for example, a festival dedicated to the writer’s birthday), where artists come and various outdoor souvenir fairs are held. You can come here with children and just spend the day here enjoying nature. (Original) Потрясающее, наикрасивейшее место, где можно отдохнуть от городской суеты среди деревьев - великанов) музейный комплекс расположен не далеко от города Мценск (куда ходят электрички) На территории есть кафе, туалеты, лавочки для отдыха. Зелёный ковёр травы кругом ( в летнее время) прогулки на лошадях. Экскурсии предоставляются как групповые, так и индивидуальные, на ваш запрос. Профессиональные, грамотные и вежливые экскурсовод, очень подробно рассказывают историю Тургеневского рода и событий жизни писателя. Здесь проходят праздники и фестивали (так например фестиваль посвящённый дню рождения писателя) на который приезжают артисты и устраиваются различные ярмарки сувениров на открытом воздухе. Сюда можно приехать с детьми, и просто провести здесь день, наслаждаясь природой.

(Translated by Google) We arrived at 11 o'clock on Sunday, as if a guide, master classes, and a walk in the park were waiting for us... we were happy... the day spent in Spassky-Lutovinovo turned out to be simply magical. The weather, the atmosphere, a wonderful guide, horses in the stables, chess on the street, we had lunch on our blanket in the depths of the park, very clean, well-groomed area.... extraordinary atmosphere.. everyone is very friendly and attentive (staff) Thank you for an amazing weekend... We have something to compare with.. we often visit museums and historical complexes. Here, a vacation with the whole family turns into quiet happiness and 6 hours fly by unnoticed... We will definitely come back! (Original) Приехали в 11 часов в воскресенье, как буд-то только нас и ждали и экскурсовод и мастер-классы, и прогулка по парку...мы были счастливы..день проведенный в Спасском -Лутовиновом оказался просто волшебным. Погода, атмосфера, замечательная экскурсовод, лошади на конюшне, шахматы на улице, пообедали на своем пледике в глубине парка, очень чисто, ухоженная территория....необыкновенная атмосфера.. все очень доброжелательные и внимательные(персонал) Спасибо за потрясающий выходной...Нам есть с чем сравнить..мы часто посещаем музеи и исторические комплексы. Здесь отдых всей семьёй превращается в тихое счастье и 6 часов пролетают незаметно... Мы вернёмся обязательно!

(Translated by Google) A very cozy corner. A beautiful park. You can walk in the shady crown of the alleys. Get into that era, the time of Turgenev. Ladies in crinalins, men in uniforms walk along the alley. An interesting museum. On weekends, various events and master classes for children are held. (Original) Очень уютный уголок. Красивый парк. Можно прогуляться, в тенистой кроне аллей. Попасть в ту эпоху, временн Тургенева. По аллее прогуливаются дамы в криналинах, мужчины в мундирах. Интересный музей. В выходные дни проводятся различные мероприятия и мастер-классы для детей.

(Translated by Google) Museum-reserve in Spasskoye. A great place for the whole family to relax. The nature of the park is fascinating with its beauty. You want to enjoy and relax your soul and body. The museum is in excellent condition, many interesting and rare exhibits. I recommend it for a great vacation. (Original) Музей заповедник в Спасском. Отличное место для отдыха всей семьи. Природа парка завораживает своей красотой. Хочется наслаждаться и отдыхать душой и телом. Музей находится в отличном состоянии много интересных и редких экспонатов. Рекомендую для отличного отдыха.

This is simply a great museum! The collection of tanks there is very large, and you even get to try to shoot a firearm of your choice for only 1100 rubles.

I was there with some Russian friends. The place is pretty unique with so many tanks, hundreds I guess. There, are Russian, British, German and American tanks and more. They span about all of the 20th century. Some of them are used a lot in WW II movies. Nice to see them up close here. We spent about two hours here. There's also plenty of souvenirs to buy, a restaurant, toilets and abundant parking place.

Tanks like the Object 279(The Alien Tank), Object 775(Pancake) and the Maus Haus(Wooden mock up in the museum???????) I aphave to visit this place!

One of the biggest tank museums in the western hemisphere. With many unique machines the museum will be breathtaking to all tank lovers. Sadly the German pavilion had been recently relocated to another location, however the Maus and some other machines are still there. Please note that nothing is in English (including people) and getting to this place on public transport might prove tricky. And well, the quality of everything is quite sketchy. Make sure you go with someone who speaks russian, otherwise these f***ers will scam you into paying three times the actual ticket price. Ps, beware of cafeteria food

No need to say anything. You come here and you worship. This is the place that you can show off to your friend for the rest of your life...

this place is awesome you can hop in the maus and attack the D point

The Perfect place for tanks lover! :3

Great place to visit with family and children. Territory is huge and you have real examples of different houses in different centuries. To see everything you need whole day. What is more, you can go to several master classes where you can learn how to do some things. On a territory are some places with different animals. Really sad to see hasky dogs in a cages.

Fun place. But that mostly for organized groups that book tours and kids over 8 yrs old. The cafes are ok. The Korchma with Russian-Ukranian good is supposedly one of best at this locale. Most activities and exhibits inside the general park area are at additional cost. At far above average prices.

Quite unique ethnographic park, but feels more like a theme park. Plenty to do for kids, but it will cost you!

The largest ethnographic park in Russia! The trip to ETNOMIR is a bright and incredibly informative holiday in the Moscow region all year round. Unique excursions, master classes, animation and folklore programs, authentic country hotels, many cafes of national cuisine, festivals and holidays. More parking space. Presentation of different countries. I worked with the famous singer of Russia Natalia on a music video song ‘у меня есть только ты’ at ethnomir

It is better to visit it on weekends. Nice atmosphere of all over the worls culture, traditions, crafts and workshops. Big territory for walking around. Hasky and bird farm are great )

This is my first time in Etnomir. So, definitely it is a great place. There are many architecture styles that was merged into Mir Street and hotels. I was extremely impressed by facade of the Nepal hotel. In spite of this feeling with family we were staying in the hotel of East Asia and room was clean and sweet. And as we were lucky with the weather we could visit every place in this huge area and just relax in place that out of carbon dioxide and full of the fresh air in harmony with nature

Много интересного!! Very unique. Restaurant Glush is a must-see!!! Delicious food and very unique setting!

(Translated by Google) The park is located on the high bank of the Oka River on the site of the Kaluga Kremlin and defensive fortress, which existed here since the 16th century. In the center of the park is the Holy Trinity Cathedral, on the sides are the buildings of government offices. Here you can see two monuments - Kuksha of Pechersk and Saint and Blessed Lawrence, two fountains and green figures of bears and moose. The southwestern part of the park overlooks the edge of the hill and the Oka River, from where the best views of the river open. (Original) Парк расположен на высоком берегу Оки месте Калужского кремля и оборонительной крепости, существовавшими здесь с XVI-го века. В центре парка – Свято-Троицкий собор, по сторонам – здания Присутственных мест. Здесь можно увидеть два памятника – Кукше Печерскому и Святому и Блаженному Лаврентию, два фонтана и зеленые фигуры медведей и лосей. Юго-западная часть парка выходит на край холма и Оку, откуда открываются лучшие виды на реку.

The museum offers an inspiring journey through the history of spaceflight, highlighting the pioneering achievements of Soviet and Russian cosmonauts. You'll see real spacecraft, space suits, and learn about the incredible lives and work of these brave individuals.

Brilliant museum and exhibition. Unfortunately, air condition was turned off and there were leaking in the new part in the left part of the window (with great view of nearby river). PS: the lack of air condition ruined our experience and we expect that it could ruin display items too. Hope that this issue will be fixed.

Very cool museum, lots of information and unique exhibitions

Worth a visit , it's a pity that's almost all descriptions are only Cyrillic

Advice: if you go to planetarium, take last seats!!! In front you can break your neck ) In other cases this museum is perfect, extremely interesting! Best to be explored with a guide.

Must visit, its worth the trip!

looking forward to the opening of the museum

(Translated by Google) The first thought when you see the cathedral is, this is Tsaritsyno. Pseudogothic. The Novo-Nikolsky Cathedral was built in 1812-14, and Tsaritsyno began construction according to Bazhenov’s project in 1776, the implementation of Kazakov’s project in 1786. It turns out that the Novo-Nikolsky Cathedral was built later. Architect Alexey Nikitich Bakarev, a student of M.F. Kazakova, it is now clear how the cathedral is connected to Tsaritsyno. The cathedral houses a museum and an Orthodox church. I just got to the church, as usual, the photos and videos were crossed out and “I do not bless” was added. St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is carved out of wood, I’ve already seen this somewhere, Kislovodsk, Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Novo-Nikolsky Cathedral is currently in the woods, restoration is underway, I hope to see the temple after the work. (Original) Первая мысль когда видишь собор, да это же Царицыно. Псевдоготика. Новоникольский собор строили 1812-14 гг., а Царицыно начало строительства по проекту Баженова 1776 г, реализация проекта Казакова 1786 г. Выходит Ново-Никольский собор построен позже. Архитектор Алексей Никитич Бакарев, так это ученик М.Ф. Казакова, теперь понятно, как связан собор с Царицыно. В соборе разместился музей и православная церковь. Попал только в церковь, как обычно фото и видеосъемка перечеркнуто и добавлено "не благословляю". Николай Чудотворец вырублен из дерева, где-то я уже это видел, Кисловодск, храм Николая Чудотворца. Ново-Никольский собор в настоящее время в лесах, идёт реставрация, надеюсь увидеть храм после работ.

(Translated by Google) The most beautiful place in Mozhaisk! The cathedral is beautiful and the view from the mountain. The temple and this whole place have a rich history. The temple has an interesting museum. Services are held daily. Now renovations are underway inside and outside the temple, ancient frescoes that were previously covered with paint are being restored. (Original) Самое красивое место в Можайске ! Собор прекрасен и вид с горы.Богатейшая история у храма и всего этого места. В храме есть интересный музей.Службы ежедневно проходят. Сейчас идёт ремонт внутри и снаружи храма, восстанавливаются древние фрески замазанные ранее краской.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful temple, but in winter everything around is covered with snow, which makes you think about the few visitors to this temple. It's a pity, it's very calm and quiet here. Great view from the temple around. (Original) Красивый храм, но зимой всё вокруг заметено снегом, что наводит на мысли о немногочисленных посетителях этого храма. А жаль, тут очень спокойно и тихо. Отличный вид от храма вокруг.

(Translated by Google) In its final form, the Novo-Nikolsky Cathedral, which has survived to this day, was erected in 1804-1814. Created in the style of pseudo-Gothic architecture, presumably the Kazakov school, it can be considered one of the outstanding works of Russian architecture. In gratitude for the miraculous help, the pious residents of Mozhaisk carved out of wood an image of the intercessor of St. Nicholas according to the revealed image - at full height in ancient episcopal vestments. Such a carved icon was installed on the Nikolsky Gate of the fortress wall. Now the image is in the Tretyakov Gallery, and its copy is in the St. Nicholas Cathedral in Mozhaisk. The image of an Orthodox bishop with a ball in his hand is extremely rare. And the Mozhaisk image of St. Nicholas is one of them. Also in the temple there is a copy of the ancient icon of Saint Prince Fyodor and his sons, into which is embedded a reliquary with particles of their holy relics. The Life-Giving Cross, made of wood and located to the left of the entrance, is especially revered. On the walls of the cathedral you can see the remains of wall frescoes from the 15th-16th centuries. (Original) В окончательном виде дошедший до наших дней Ново-Никольский собор был воздвигнут в 1804-1814 году. Созданный в стиле псевдоготической архитектуры, предположительно школы Казакова, его можно считать одним из выдающихся произведений русского зодчества. В благодарность за чудесную помощь благочестивые жители Можайска вырезали из дерева изображение заступника святителя Николая согласно явленному образу – во весь рост в древнем епископском облачении. Такая резная икона была установлена на Никольских воротах крепостной стены. Сейчас образ пребывает в Третьяковской галерее, а его копия в Никольском соборе Можайска. Образ православного епископа с мячом в руке встречается крайне редко. И можайский образ святителя Николая один из них. Еще в храме находится список с древней иконы святого князя Федора с сыновьями, в которую вделан ковчежец с частицами их святых мощей. Особо почитается Животворящий Крест, выполненный из дерева и расположенный слева от входа. На стенах собора можно видеть остатки настенных фресок XV-XVI веков.

(Translated by Google) Driving through Mozhaisk, it is impossible not to notice this beautiful temple. Restoration is still underway. I was very pleased with the flower garden on the territory and the polite security guard. The gate closed right after us at 19.30 (Original) Проезжая через Можайск, невозможно не заметить этот прекрасный храм. Сейчас ещё идёт реставрация. Очень порадовал цветник на территории и вежливый охранник. Ворота закрыл сразу после нас в 19.30

(Translated by Google) Interesting temple. Unusual. Asks more questions than answers. Masons. Symbols. The temple stands on a hill. Wooden sculpture of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker with a sword and a city in his hands. (Original) Интересный храм. Необычный. Задаёт больше вопросов, чем ответов. Масоны. Символы. Храм стоит на холме. Деревянная скульптура Николая Чудотворца с мечом и городом в руках.

(Translated by Google) The temple was built on the site of a former fortress that guarded the approaches to Moscow. Very unusual architecture, beautiful place on a hill. Nearby on the square in the building of a former school (Krupskaya, 1) there is now an archive and a museum. For 50 rubles, within half an hour you will be introduced to the history of Mozhaisk and told about all the surrounding attractions. Many thanks to the museum staff, it was very interesting. (Original) Храм построен на месте бывшей крепости, которая охраняла подходы к Москве. Очень необычная архитектура, красивое место на холме. Рядом на площади в здании бывшей школы (Крупской, 1) сейчас расположены архив и музей. За 50 рублей в течении получаса вас ознакомят с историей Можайска и расскажут обо всех окрестных достопримечательностях. Большое спасибо сотрудникам музея, было очень интересно.

I can't thank the locksmith team enough for their amazing service. I was locked out of my home late at night, and they arrived promptly. The locksmith was patient, understanding, and had me back inside without any issues.

I was locked out of my apartment late at night and called for their emergency locksmith service. They arrived within 20 minutes and had me back inside in no time. Quick, professional, and a lifesaver!

I couldn't believe how fast and efficient their locksmith service was. I lost my car keys, and they arrived at the location promptly. The locksmith was skilled and got me back on the road in no time. Such a lifesaver!

From start to finish, the locksmith service displayed professionalism and skill. They rekeyed all the locks in my apartment complex promptly, ensuring the security of all residents. Their attention to detail and commitment to top-notch service are commendable.

Top-notch locksmiths in town! I lost my car keys during a busy day, and they came to my location faster than I expected. The locksmith was friendly and skilled, making the stressful situation much easier to handle.

Efficient and professional locksmiths that truly know their stuff. I needed a smart lock installed, and they not only did it perfectly but also took the time to explain how it works. I feel more secure in my home now!

I was locked out of my apartment on a chilly evening, and the locksmith service came to my rescue within 20 minutes! The technician was not only quick but also very professional and friendly. I couldn't have asked for better service. Highly recommended!

It's a perfect place for rest of Moscow. You can accommodate there and spend more than one day, actually its necessity because of it's too far from Moscow to be there just for one day. Anyway, interesting art, timber structures, calm place, bad roads, but its a part of it. Definitely worth to see.

A good place to visit if you are really into public art, but not worth driving all the way from Moscow. The infrastructure of the park has a lot of room to grow (updated maps, guides in foreign languages). However, the nature here truly is beautiful. The Ugra River, located south of the old church, is a great place to go for a swim in the summer.

Really an a interesting place to visit. Astonishing view.

Warning! There are the last 10 kilometers of the bad road, you cannot pass. Too many holes in asphalt. But the art is beautiful, strange, fantastic! Alien even. It is like "Burning Man" for poor people. (You know, 'we are not rich enough to burn our art; we are not rich enough to buy a trip to USA'.)

The Nikola Lenivets art park is not something which pops up in a regular tour itinerary on a visit to Russia. More near to Kaluga than Moscow, it involves a bit of a drive, duration of which depends on where you stay in Moscow. It is possible to reach there by public transport but I was fortunate enough to have my friend and her brother give me a ride. (which was perfect because the place's a bit hard to find and you need to know Russian to ask for directions). The park is very widespread and covers the whole village of Nikola Lenivets including adjacent fields, woods, meadows and a river. There are various art installations all around from the midst of meadows to inside the woods. There is a vehicular road which goes through and around most of the park and there are dedicated parking lots near most larger exhibits. It's quite easy to explore the various areas of the park on foot from the parking lots. Cycles are available on rent but I won't recommend them unless you're absolutely at the peak of fitness because the roads are undulating and unpaved making the journey uncomfortable. There are lovely cottages to stay over along with dedicated camping grounds. Toilets although widely present are so so...some are modern and comfortable while others are like dry pits! Maps and tickets are available at the information centre, unfortunately only being in Russian. There are decent cafes and places for picnics and barbecues. I couldn't find any shop to buy souvenirs. On the whole it's a good place to visit although it's tough getting there on your own. And it is better to go when you are feeling completely well because it becomes tiring to explore the huge area when you're ill (personal experience).

Very nice, peaceful and calm environment. Very hard to get to though, huge park, better to rent a bike or to be prepared to walk a lot

Unique place with a lot of contemporary art. A must see if you are nearby

(Translated by Google) A wonderful estate and park complex. We were here at the festival on May 31, 2025, and really liked the performance at the entrance to the estate, it was very beautiful and atmospheric! You want to walk around the halls on the second floor for a long, long time... A park with alleys and ponds (along the banks of which yellow wild irises and white Cannes grow - I've never seen anything like them!) - it's probably especially great there during the linden blossom season. I recommend visiting! And there are announcements of events in the museum's VK group - very convenient. (Original) Замечательный усадебно-парковый комплекс. 31 мая 2025 года были здесь на фестивале, очень понравился спектакль на входной группе усадьбы, очень красиво и антуражно! По залам второго этажа хочется прохаживаться долго-долго... Парк с аллеями и прудами (по берегам которых растут жёлтые дикие ирисы и белые Канны - никогда таких не видела!) - наверное, там особенно здорово во время цветения липы. Рекомендую к посещению! А анонсы мероприятий есть в группе музея в ВК - очень удобно.

(Translated by Google) The impressions are excellent. We were lucky with both the weather and the staff. In winter, you won’t be able to walk around the territory for a long time, but you can hang out for a long time in the estate and the nearby museum and exhibitions. The staff is friendly, no one follows you around. We went to an exhibition of writers from St. Petersburg artists and were impressed. The estate itself is not just a museum, but it preserves and creates an idea of ​​family and life. On the territory there is a small souvenir shop with gingerbread cookies, postcards, books, at prices cheaper than in Smolensk. You can drink coffee, have a snack. We went to see a hangover cat, on advice from Smolensk, but the owners had already taken the cat, but now they have 3 wonderful puppies! (Original) Впечатления отличные. Нам повезло и с погодой и с персоналом. Зимой долго гулять по территории не получится, зато в усадьбе и близлежащих музее и выставках можно зависнуть надолго. Персонал приветливый, по пятам никто за вами не ходит. Попали на выставку писателей от Питерских художников, остались под впечатлением. Сама же усадьба не просто музей, а именно хранит и создаёт представление о семье и быте. На территории небольшой сувенирный магазинчик с пряниками, открытками, книгами, по ценам дешевле чем в Смоленске. Можно выпить кофе, перекусить. Ехали смотреть кота-бодуна, по совету из Смоленска, но кота уже забрали хозяева, зато теперь у них есть 3 замечательных щенка!

(Translated by Google) Griboyedovs' estate. The guide tells an interesting story. The exhibition is, as they say, neat, but poor... There are many manuscripts of Woe from Wit, but not of Griboyedov himself, but handwritten copies, because this comedy was banned at one time. It’s a gorgeous area, it’s true, we were there in winter, but it’s large-scale, the paths are cleared, the Christmas tree is decorated, there are snowmen and a snow fortress. Overall I liked it (Original) Усадьба Грибоедовых. Интересно рассказывает экскурсовод. Экспозиция что называется чистенько, но бедненько... Много рукописей Горе от ума, но не самого Грибоедова, а рукописно размноженных экземпляров, т, к.комедия эта в своё время была запрещена. Шикарная территория, правда, мы были зимой, но масштабно, дорожки расчищены, ёлка наряжена, снеговики и снежная крепость стоит. В целом понравилось

(Translated by Google) The ticket costs 300 rubles. which cannot be said to be cheap, a walk in the park and near the mansions is 50 rubles. somehow we regretted paying 300 rubles. for this museum, although to the Nakhimov Museum for another 100 rubles. I went anyway, there was a tiny room and very few exhibits. My impression? - not bad, a beautiful estate, a monument to Griboedov, but nothing more, I wasn’t particularly impressed... (Original) Билет стоит 300руб. что нельзя сказать дёшево,прогулка в парке и около особняков 50 руб. что то мы пожалели отдавать по 300руб. за этот музей ,хотя в музей им.Нахимова ещё за 100руб. я все таки сходил,там малюсенькой помещение и очень мало экспонатов. Мое впечатление? -неплохо ,красивая усадьба памятник Грибоедову но не более,особо сильно не впечатлило...

(Translated by Google) Great museum. Decent exposure. The monument to Griboyedov is also not bad. You can walk in the park for cheap, but the mosquitoes will eat you, rest assured. But the access to the village from M-1 is simply terrible, there are potholes upon potholes, especially on the road from Khmelita. And for those who don’t have a car, I don’t even know if there is an option to get there or not (Original) Отличный музей. Достойная экспозиция. Памятник Грибоедову тоже неплох. В парке занедорого можно гулять, только комары вас съедят, уж будьте уверены. А вот подъезд к посёлку от М-1 просто ужасный, ямы на ямах, особенно по дороге от Хмелиты. А тем, кто без машины - даже и не знаю, есть ли вариант добраться или нет

(Translated by Google) A small but excellent museum, a tennis grove on a private plot near a pond. Everything has been restored. There are photographs of how it was before and after restoration. A small flower garden (bed) near the benches would be nice to improve the area. Overall, the estate left a pleasant impression. (Original) Небольшой, но отличный музей, теннистая роща на приусадебном участке у пруда. Все отреставрировано. Есть фотографии как было до и после реставрации. Не помешал бы небольшой цветник (клумба) возле скамеек для облагоражения территории. В целом усадьба оставила приятное впечатление.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful place for relaxation and a touch of history, a completely non-business-oriented place; the hours spent in Khmelit will remain in the memory for a long time. Special thanks to the employees who are passionate about their work. Stunning nature, beautifully decorated halls of the estate. (Original) Замечательное место для релакса и прикосновения к истории, совершенно не бизнес-ориентированное место, часы проведенные в Хмелите останутся надолго в памяти. Особая благодарность сотрудникам, которые влюблены в свою работу. Потрясающая природа, красиво оформлены залы усадьбы.

(Translated by Google) There were a lot of people on Christmas Day, so we looked at the interior decoration through the doors. The temple is visible from everywhere, because it stands on a mountain. The road to it in bad weather can be unpleasant for a pedestrian. Bolshaya Sobornaya Street is not that big, and every now and then people get splashed with mud by cars passing by. (Original) Людей в Рождество было море, поэтому посмотрели на внутреннее убранство через двери. Храм видно отовсюду, ибо стоит на горе. Дорога к нему в непогоду для пешехода может быть неприятной. Улица Большая Соборная не такая большая, и то и дело людей окатывают грязью проезжающие мимо машины.

(Translated by Google) The magnificent Assumption Cathedral is a real pearl of Smolensk. You can see it from afar, and when you get closer, you are struck by the scale and beauty of the architecture. It is very light and spacious inside, the atmosphere is peaceful. A separate plus is that there is a small shop on the territory where you can buy fresh bread for only 50 rubles. A great place to feel the spirit of the city and touch history. (Original) Великолепный Успенский собор — настоящая жемчужина Смоленска. Видно его издалека, а когда подходишь ближе, поражает масштаб и красота архитектуры. Внутри очень светло и просторно, атмосфера умиротворяющая. Отдельный плюс — на территории есть небольшая лавка, где можно купить свежий хлеб всего за 50 рублей. Отличное место, чтобы почувствовать дух города и прикоснуться к истории.

(Translated by Google) We visited Smolensk and definitely went to the Holy Dormition Cathedral. The Cathedral is very beautiful, captivates with its grandeur. But there is one "but". This is the observation deck behind the Cathedral. It is all overgrown with weeds, which in some places are higher than the waist. Thistle thorns cling to clothes. Why can't everything be mowed down and make a visit to the observation deck comfortable for tourists? (Original) Посетили Смоленск и обязательно зашли в Свято-Успенский собор. Собор очень красив, покоряет своим величием. Но есть одно «но». Это обзорная площадка за Собором. Вся поросла бурьяном, который местами выше пояса . Колючки чертополоха цепляются за одежду. Нежели нельзя все скосить и сделать посещение смотровой площадки комфортным для туристов

(Translated by Google) I was impressed by the cathedral's visit, the grandeur and beauty of the iconostasis. The bread shop on site serves delicious bread. (Original) Осталась под впечатлением от посещения сабора,величие и красота иконостаса. На территории в лавке очень вкусный хлеб

(Translated by Google) The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the cathedral of the Smolensk Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Church. Located in the central part of the city of Smolensk on Cathedral Hill. Erected at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. An amazing place for the soul, where the Lord embraces you with his love! I like to come to the cathedral when there are not many people, I can calmly pray, turn to God, the Most Holy Theotokos, and the saints of God. You can venerate any icon with prayer and request; there are places where you can simply sit and breathe the spirit of the cathedral, this is especially important for elderly and sick people. Of course, on great holidays there is Grace everywhere, it’s just very crowded, you have to stand close together. Go enjoy God's house, its splendor and its beauty. Think about saving your soul!!! God bless you!!! (Original) Собо́р Успе́ния Пресвято́й Богоро́дицы — кафедральный собор Смоленской митрополии Русской православной церкви. Находится в центральной части города Смоленска на Соборной горе. Возведён на рубеже XVII и XVIII веков. Удивительное место для души, там Господь обнимает вас своей любовью! Люблю приходить в собор, когда немноголюдно, можно спокойно помолиться, обратится к Богу, Пресвятой Богородице, к Святым угодникам Божьим. Приложится к любой иконе с молитвой и просьбой, есть места где просто можно посидеть и подышать духом собора, особенно это важно для пожилых и больных людей. Конечно на великие праздники там Благодать везде и всюду, просто очень многолюдно, приходится стаять вплотную. Идите, наслаждайтесь домом Божьим, виличием и красотой. Думайте о спасении своей души!!! Божьей помощи вам!!!

(Translated by Google) Majestically towers over the entire city. Beautiful both outside and inside. One of the main attractions of the city (Original) Величественно возвышается над всем городом. Красив как снаружи так и внутри. Одна из основных достопримечательностей города

(Translated by Google) The temple is majestic, unusually beautiful, gracious. The impression is spoiled by the "auntie", who imagined herself to be something, exalted at the table with a sign. She takes upon herself the right to decide some and not to confuse others to the icon. A backward bureaucrat, apparently. Well, if you have such an honor to turn the temple with flowers, then you should not sleep for long, do it in advance, do not take a sin on your soul not to let people near the icon before the holiday, you will be known as wretched in mind (Original) Храм величественный, необыкновенно красивый, благодатный. Впечатление портит "тетя", возомнившая из себя нечто, за столом с табличкой возвеличившаяся. Берет на себя право решать одних и не путать других к иконе. Отставшая чинуша, видимо. Уж, если вам честь такая обратить цветами храм, то не стоит долго спать, сделайте заранее, не берите грех на душу не пускать у иконе перед праздником, умом убогими прослывете

(Translated by Google) It’s wonderful that such buildings have survived to this day. That you can still touch history and feel it. It is a pity that not everything has been preserved and the building is in very poor condition. We walked around the wall from all sides, and it turned out that we got a little lost and therefore ended up on a side that was not usual for tourists, and made our way back through the windows. It was a little historical adventure. (Original) Прекрасно, что до наших времен сохранились такие постройки. Что к истории ещё можно прикоснуться и прочувствовать её. Очень жаль, что сохранилось не все и постройка находится в очень плачевном состоянии. Обошли стену со всех сторон, так вышло что немного заблудились и по этому оказались с не привычной для туристов стороны, обратно пробирались сквозь окна. Было маленькое историческое приключение.

(Translated by Google) A magnificent monument of architectural architecture. You can even go inside the towers and walk through the galleries. A true symbol of the city's history (Original) Шикарный памятник архитектурного зодчества. Можно даже зайти внутрь башен, пройтись по галереям. Настоящий символ истории города

(Translated by Google) A very interesting historical object, but now in poor condition. Only three of the 18 surviving towers house museums and are accessible inside. The rest are empty. In the Veselukha tower there is a warehouse for all sorts of rubbish from the adjacent theological seminary of the Smolensk diocese. You can't climb the walls anywhere. For years the fortress wall has not been restored, and when it is restored, funds are obviously not spent properly. The wall was founded in 1595 by Boris Godunov, and construction was completed in 1602. In troubled times, he will play a very important role in preserving the Moscow state. The most preserved - the eastern part of the wall is the most picturesque, but you cannot climb the wall there - all the entrances are blocked and closed. The surrounding area is not suitable for tourists. (Original) Очень интересный исторический объект, однако сейчас находится в плохом состоянии. Только в трёх из 18 уцелевших башен располагаются музеи и внутрь можно попасть. Остальные пустуют. В башне Веселуха сделан склад всякого хлама прилегающей к ней духовной семинарии Смоленской епархии. Нигде на стены подняться нельзя. Годами Крепостная стена не реставрируется, а когда реставрируется средства по всему видно расходуются не должным образом. Стена была заложена в 1595 году Борисом Годуновым, а закончено строительство в 1602 году. В смутное время сыграет очень важную роль в сохранении московского государства. Самая сохранившаяся - восточная часть стены самая живописная, однако там на стену подняться нельзя - всё входы заблокированы и закрыты. Прилегающая территория для туристов не приспособлена.

(Translated by Google) Today I visited the historical site of the city of Smolensk. The fortress wall was built in 1602 by the architect Fyodor Kon. This object is a historical architectural value of the city of Smolensk. The wall itself is not completely preserved and is located in parts from each other. Not far from the wall there is an observation deck of the Assumption Cathedral. From this place there is a beautiful view of the city. The train station is also not far from this place. (Original) Сегодня побывал историческом месте города Смоленска. Крепостная стена построена 1602 году архитектором Фёдором Конем. Данный объект является историческим архитектурным ценностью города Смоленска. Сама стена полностью не сохранена расположена частями друг от друга. Не далеко от стены есть смотровая площадка Успенского Собора. С этого места на город открывается красивый вид. Так же не далеко от этого места железнодорожный вокзал.

(Translated by Google) Symbol of Smolensk. It is very good that this architectural structure has survived to this day. (Original) Символ Смоленска. Очень хорошо, что это архитектурное сооружение сохранилось до наших дней.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful place. Reconstruction is underway. There is one thing: there is knee-deep grass on the slopes, thickets within the city of Dnepr, mountains of garbage from the market nearby... a nightmare. assessment of the pure potential of the place. (Original) Чудное место. Проводится реконструкция. Есть одно но: не колена трава на склонах, заросли в черте города Днепр, горы мусора от рынка рядом...кошмар. оценка чисто потенциалу места.

(Translated by Google) A place with significant history. (Original) Место со значительной историей.

Its a place where you can spend your free time with your family or friends. Good to hang out. having good scenery.

It gives immense pleasure to walk with our loved ones in this park. Gonna miss this place soon ...

My favorite for summers only. Not interested in rides though but fun place

Great Park nice n clean beautiful gardens and layout

This is a wonderful historical park. There is much to see here. Plan to spend some time here as there is so much to see and do. Bring your camera. Highly recommend.

Beautifull park. Only you can dress more trees and flowers aş concept And repair walking ways. Thanks for aşk opinion. Rasim Atilla. Landscape architect.

Beautiful park in the Centre of Smolensk. A perfect place to take a stroll with your loved ones in the evenings.

The Holy Assumption Cathedral in Vitebsk is one of the city’s most recognizable and impressive landmarks. Located on a hill above the Western Dvina River, it offers fantastic views of the surrounding area and adds a special charm to the city’s skyline. Its white walls and golden domes shine brightly, especially in the late afternoon sun. The area around the cathedral is clean, peaceful, and perfect for a walk or a moment of calm. 🌊 What made our visit truly unforgettable was the unexpected event happening right in front of the cathedral. A group of girls was performing energetic modern dances, inspired by styles like hip-hop and Jagger. There was music playing, and a small team was filming the performance with professional cameras. It seemed like a rehearsal or maybe a shoot for a dance video. The atmosphere was fun, creative, and full of life. 🪩 The mix of classic architecture and modern youth culture was something you don’t see every day. It showed how places like this cathedral are not just historical or religious sites but also active parts of local culture and community life. If you’re in Vitebsk, don’t miss this spot. Even if you don’t go inside, just being there is a special experience ✨.

(Translated by Google) The Assumption Cathedral in Vitebsk stands on the high bank of the Dvina, where in pre-Christian times there was a sanctuary of the pagan goddess Mokosha. And the hill was called Bald Mountain, according to legend, witches flocked there for the Sabbath. The temple largely follows the fate of the nearby Church of the Resurrection. Both of them were built in the 18th century and blown up in 1936 by the Bolsheviks. Factory workshops were built on the site of the cathedral; after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the enterprise went bankrupt, the buildings were abandoned, and they collapsed. At the beginning of this century, the public demanded the restoration of the temple, and in 1998, Patriarch Alexy II, whose monument stands opposite the cathedral, consecrated the cornerstone of its new foundation. The first liturgy in the lower chapel took place in 2005, the work was completed 6 years later. The cathedral was revived in full accordance with the original design of the Italian Joseph Fantan, which was modeled on the Roman church of San Carlo al Corso in the mature Baroque style. A wide staircase leads from the embankment to the square in front of the undulating façade, decorated with a Corinthian order colonnade. Under the triangular pediment between the three-tiered towers is an icon of the Mother of God. The largest bell in Belarus weighing 5.2 tons is suspended from the belfry. (Original) Успенский собор в Витебске стоит на высоком берегу Двины, где в дохристианские времена находилось святилище языческой богини Мокоши. А холм назывался Лысой горой, по легенде, туда слетались ведьмы на шабаш. Храм во многом повторяет судьбу стоящей неподалеку Воскресенской церкви. Оба они возведены в XVIII веке и взорваны в 1936 г. большевиками. На месте собора соорудили заводские цеха, после развала Советского Союза предприятие разорилось, строения забросили, и они разрушились. В начале нашего века общественность потребовала восстановления храма, и в 1998 г. патриарх Алексий II, чей памятник стоит напротив собора, освятил закладной камень его нового фундамента. Первая литургия в нижнем приделе состоялась в 2005 г., работы завершены 6 лет спустя. Собор возрожден в полном соответствии с первоначальным проектом итальянца Иосифа Фантана, образцом которому послужила римская церковь Сан-Карло-аль-Корсо в стиле зрелого барокко. Широкая лестница ведет с набережной к площади перед волнистым фасадом, украшенным колоннадой коринфского ордера. Под треугольным фронтоном между трехъярусными башнями написана икона Божией Матери. На звоннице подвешен самый большой колокол в Беларуси весом 5,2 т.

(Translated by Google) The church, from the platform next to it offers a wonderful view of the city. There were a lot of people inside in January days (Original) Церковь, с площадки рядом открывается чудный вид на город. Внутри в январские дни было много людей

(Translated by Google) The most beautiful cathedral on the site of an old settlement. In the evening the illumination is turned on - very beautiful. Nearby there is a convent, Pushkin Street and Pushkinsky Bridge, a theater, Kirovsky Bridge, the town hall building (Original) Красивейший собор на месте старого городища. Вечером включается подсветка ,- очень красиво. Рядом женский монастырь, улица Пушкина и Пушкинский мост, театр, Кировский мост, здание ратуши

(Translated by Google) The grandiose cathedral is located on a hill, offering a beautiful view of the city and the confluence of two rivers. Built in 1743-1777 as a Uniate church. During construction, the Basilica of San Carlo al Corso in Rome was taken as a model. Since 1799 it has been an Orthodox cathedral. Blown up and destroyed to the ground in 1936 and completely restored from 2001 to 2011. There is a staircase leading from the embankment to the cathedral; there are many steps, but it is worth climbing. You can see a beautiful sunset (Original) Грандиозный собор, находится на возвышенности, оттуда открывается красивый вид на город и место слияния двух рек. Построен в 1743—1777 годах как униатский храм. При постройке за образец взята базилика Сан-Карло-аль-Корсо в Риме. С 1799 года — православный собор. Взорван и разрушен до основания в 1936 году и полностью восстановлен с 2001 по 2011 годы. От набережной к собору ведет лестница, ступенек много, но по ней стоит подняться. Можно увидеть красивый закат

(Translated by Google) Historical part of the city. I really liked it. We were there during the Slavic Bazaar, (Original) Историческая часть города. Очень понравилось. Были в дни проведения,, Славянского базара,,

(Translated by Google) The temple is decorated with the largest bell in Belarus. Its weight is 5.2 tons, height – 2 meters. (Original) Украшает храм самый большой колокол Беларуси. Вес его 5,2 тонны, высота – 2 метра.

No photos or video allowed inside. Why? Only allowed to see 4 rooms of the house. The rooms are very small and they have yours with 20+ people in them, which make it impossible for all to fit in a room to hear the tour guide. The positives: only $1 for our family to enter and the outside was spacious and relaxing.

A beautiful house and a lot of interesting pictures m.m.

Quite small museum located in artist's house. Fine place to see but it's questionable if it's worth the four hour trip from Minsk

Interesting, but not too much information about his complete life with his famous artworks. The staff is very friendly and helpful!

It's a historical place where Mark Shagal was born

Great staff and very contdmporary museum space, if small.

Beautiful

Beautiful place to visit 🙏😍

Small church one of two built in the 12th century and well-preserved in Belarus, go inside and see unique murals!

Monastery with special aura.

Good historic place.

(Translated by Google) The most famous monastery in Belarus. Historical place. In the Cathedral of the Exaltation of the Cross (1893-97) - a shrine with the relics of St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk. The monastery itself was founded by the saint in 1127. The monastery is undergoing major reconstruction. The Transfiguration Church is closed even externally, but the frescoes (the first two layers up to the 12th century) can be seen in the Polotsk Art Museum. (Original) Самый известный монастырь Беларуси. Историческое место. В Крестовоздвиженском соборе (1893-97) - рака с мощами преподобной Ефросинией Полоцкой. Сам монастырь основан святой в 1127 году. В монастыре большая реконструкция. Спасо-Преображенская церковь закрыта даже внешне, но фрески (первые два слоя до ХII века) можете увидеть в художественном музее Полоцка.

(Translated by Google) We were there 3-4.07.25, we really liked it - a blessed atmosphere, a sacred place, you can spend the night, they feed you deliciously. Pray, repent of sins. Ask for a blessing for something new. I recommend it. (Original) Были 3- 4.07.25 очень понравилось - благодатная атмосфера, намоленное место, можно переночевать, вкусно кормят . Помолиться, покаяться в грехах.Попросить благословение на новое. Рекомендую.

(Translated by Google) I was here with my family, in the temple you feel at ease, the aura of the temple has an effect on the peace of the soul and the whole state. (Original) Была здесь с семьёй, в храме чувствуешь себя легко, аура храма действует на миротворение души и всего всего состояния.

An historical building with a great history and very modest presentation for tourists. If you are walking around the city without a guide, it will not be so easy to find the Cathedral - there are no signs in the city center showing how to get to its most famous historical site. Finding a toilet near this touristic site is also a problem, because there are no any signs, although it exists. ))

A wonderful rebuild cathedral, with attention for the long history of Belarus

Why they take double price on holidays? Why they put curtains at the entrance? Why it is not allowed to take pictures there? Why the service people there not smiling, are so rude and impolite? So many questions, so few answers.

Pretty church made by Catholics. Well renewed. It is a museum right now. You can visit it. Very well located in a picturesque area.

Great historic place with wonderful view

One of few must-go places in Belarus

Ok

Very impressive memorial. Definitely worth the visit

This place should be visited by everyone who wants to get in touch with the history of this country

Extremely moving memorial to a horrible chapter in history.

An unusual place. It is difficult to describe the atmosphere and all the feelings when you are among these monuments of human cruelty. A special sensation is causing by the bells ringing for the deads. At the same time there is some kind of harmony here. This place is definitely worth a visit. The entrance is free.

The first thing you need to do is go to the museum (kind of unnoticeable on the far left of the parking lot) and buy a $2 book that gives the history and significance of all of the memorials (book is in English and Russian). There is a museum that shows photos of past memorials and photos of construction of present ones. It also has stories and photos of survivors from Khatyn and other villages--only in Russian though. The whole complex is very harrowing, but so worthwhile. Very well done in typical Soviet style (concrete).

If you visit Minsk, you should also visit this Memorial.

This is a must witness during a trip in Belarus. It describe the insanity of war, the bells reminds about the tragedy as happened here.

It’s worth visiting but once, they also offer nice parties for kids during the summer with lots of open air activities such as foam parties and holi, however, it’s much better to purchase tickets online at least a few days prior to the event to save on the entrance fee on the day of festivities . They have a playground for kids and a nice collection of retro cars. The bistro on summer weekends and during any celebrations is just a nightmare!!! You have to wait in line for at least 30 minutes and the food is rather average, however the prices are rather low

Green complex, with historical and local filling of the traditions of the building. everything is clean and cute. the complex is not large, some part is closed to ordinary visitors. there is a place for horses. Here are held many interesting events and the whole Minsk gathers.

There are some old cars and you get tiny cheeses for tasting. All that for 23 rub. It totally doesn’t worth this much money.

I had really enjoyed my day over there, it is a nice place where you can clearly find out how past life of Belarusians was and buy the traditional products , handcrafted things , seeing old cars and the technique of making vodka in addition to the kind mentors like Lira .

I suggest you to take an excursion there, so you’ll have lots of fun with tastings of local products and drinks. Area is nice, but I was disappointed that everything was in Russian. Even the guides don’t do the tours in Belarusian. That’s sad. And the shield at the entrance wasn’t in a native language.

Pleasant place to spend few hours in. Not so crowded, not so big, this museum is an ideal place for trip with children.

Historical nice place with wide variety of traditional handicraft of Belarus and also you can meet hospitable Belarusians in their ancient attires :) <3

Very nice and beautiful place, recommend to visit to everyone who visits Minsk.

I would said nothing about place where is the library located . Because there is metro station just few hundred metres out. I wouldn't said nothing about how massive is the building . Because it's really big but looking nice ... Good luck !!

Amazing visit to a cheap price. Great view of the city on a sunny Minsk day is incredible. Highly recommend

An icon of the city of Minsk! A must for all tourists, go to the 23 floor for the view.

Famous and biggest library in Bilarussia. We visit it today 28th/08/2019 very nice place.

Very good

The observation deck entrance is at the back side of the building. Paid some fee, climbed the lift. The deck is overlooking the city of Minsk. Very beautiful view from here. There's a cafe and rooms for art exhibition. At night, we waited to see the light spectacle. Beautiful illumination. It's worth the wait.

Yesterday, 30/05/2025, I had the pleasure of exploring Museum Strana Mini in Minsk—a true gem showcasing the rich history and architectural beauty of Belarus in miniature. Every detail, every exhibit reflects the passion and dedication of the talented creators behind this masterpiece. A huge thank you to the team for their incredible work in preserving and presenting Belarusian heritage in such a captivating way! If you're ever in Minsk, this is a must-visit!

Great place for tourists. One can see miniatures some of the main sights of Belarus. An audio guide will tell you about all of them. I strongly recommend visiting the museum. It will be interesting to children and grownups as well. By the way some maquettes have figured of fairytale or movie characters🧚‍♀️ There is also a VR helmet where you can look at sights in their current state (but I felt a bit dizzy after it).

A waste of money. The exhibition is very small, with few items on display, and their quality is extremely poor — it felt like little care or effort went into their creation. Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing experiences I had in Belarus.

I really enjoyed going to see the museum on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't too busy and I got to spend a lot of time looking at the really detailed models (19 total). The models themselves are so intricate and they move and have a light show. An audio guide available in English is included in the price of the ticket and it's super cool to see and learn about sites that you can later see in person. Also the staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming.

If you want to be inspired to travel across Belarus, this is a great starting point! The staff is very friendly, I loved the exposition and audio tour, and there is also a nice souvenir shop.

Beautiful iconic Belarusian buildings in one place. With engaging English commentary and always friendly staff.

Amazing place to learn about Belarusian history and culture. Very well organised and presented. Surprisingly these exhibits are the result of one man's dream come true. Evgeniy Danilik's name will go down in Belarusian histroy as the man who broght his nation's history to the common people. What a feat indeed.

Beautiful building and no queues during the break for coffee. It was smelling like toilet next to our seats and we had to be reseated somewhere else

The Opera Building is amazing! I loved the awesome chandeliers everywhere and the marble. The play of swan lake was also absolutely impressive. I’m very grateful that I could be there!

The National Academic Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theatre of Belarus in Minsk is a striking architectural landmark and a cultural treasure. Its grand, neoclassical design and elegant fountains set the stage for world-class performances of opera and ballet. Inside, the acoustics and artistry rival Europe’s finest theaters. Whether attending a show or simply admiring the building, visitors experience the sophistication and creative spirit that define Belarusian performing arts.

This is the place that you must go if you travel in Minsk. Awesome architecture both inside and outside with European cultural and luxury style. "Swan Lake" show was great and impressive.

Majestic place for theater and Ballet. Highely recomended. Top notch theater and Ballet at it's finist. Last night finished watching the superb Swan Lake (Лебединое озеро) Ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky❤️ Belarus has a cultural winner 🥇 Five stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🥂🎉💃🕺🎶 🎭 🎭 🎭 🎭 🎵🎵🍷🍾🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 Attended numerous theater events and 3 New year ball Jan 13th Fantastic productions. 💖💖💖💖💖

Very small [in its sizes - both inside and outside] for such a significant and culturally important place. But there are very beautiful interiors and facade. It is also the single opera&ballet theatre in Belarus...

It was simply great! We had seats in the balcony zone, but the view was nice, the seats themselves were comfortable. The performance, and we attended a ballet performance, was fantastic, with bright costumes and good choreography.

Nice perspective into the past Russian weapons and armory. Also nice to shoot some old guns

This is undoubtedly one of the greatest museums and historical landmarks of The Great Patriotic War! Worth a visit for everyone if you happen to pass nearby.

Amazing chance to visit a place of great historical importance where so many lives where sacrificed during WW2. You can also admire the best military technology of the Soviet era. An added touristy bonus is the possibility of firing (blanks) with some weapons and riding a tank!

A lot of stuff to see and touch for real, from bunker machine gun to turret to tanks, lots of tanks, radars, jets, helicopters. It is possible to fire blanks with AK, mosin, Maxim, dshk and even anti-tank. Autobus direct from the Minsk train station.

Incredible collection of military hardware from tanks to fighter jets. Easily one of the best museums of this kind in the world. Surprised I didn't know it before.

The unique historical and cultural complex of the Great Patriotic War. Be sure to come with the kids! Very interesting. You can take an excursion, which guides in the form of soldiers and officers from the Second World War will conduct for you. And you can bypass everything yourself. Fortifications remained - trenches, bunkers of those times, weapons from which, by the way, you can shoot for a nominal fee. There is also a technique of the post-war and Soviet period. On holidays, performances in the open. And in the local souvenir shop you can buy home souvenirs.

Very interesting place to visit when you're in Belarus. There was a lot to see, and I spent several hours exploring the area. Good to see that they had a Lenin statue there 👍

If you want to experience the medieval life in Belarus then this is the right place

(Translated by Google) Yesterday I was there for the second time. To be honest, I didn’t like it this time. For this price I would like to get quality service. Excursions are driven away in herds. At four o'clock the staff sighed sadly that they were serving the 54th group... The prices in the restaurant are decent, there is not much choice, the wait for a free seat is long due to the incredibly slow service. Along the route, the eye is not pleased with the unkemptness: broken paths, broken toilet locks, greasy stains on the menu in the restaurant. A good idea was turned into a place for pumping money in the worst sense of the word. Disappointed. (Original) Вчера была во второй раз. Честно говоря, в этот раз не понравилось. За такую цену хотелось бы получить качественное обслуживание. Стадами прогоняют экскурсии. В часа четыре персонал горестно вздыхал, что обслуживают 54 группу...Цены в ресторане приличные, выбора особо нет, ждать свободное место долго из-за невероятно медленного обслуживания. По маршруту глаз не радует неухоженность: разбитые дорожки, неработающие замки туалетов, жирные пятна на меню в ресторане. Хорошую идею превратили в место выкачивания денег в самом плохом смысле этого слова. Разочарована.

(Translated by Google) The best thing about the history of Belarus:) The staff is super, everything is very beautiful and well-groomed and positive. Every year they add something new, they try. But it's not cheap, which is logical - such a large history park needs to be maintained, I would pay more:) Boutique hotel one love. Thank you! (Original) Лучшее что есть про историю Беларуси:) Персонал супер, все очень красивое и ухоженное и позитивное. Каждый год что-то новое добавляют, стараются. Но не дешево, что логично - такой большой парк истории нужно содержать, я б и больше заплатила:) Бутик отель ван лав. Спасибо вам!

(Translated by Google) A breath of fresh air among similar museum complexes. Lots of self-guided activities. Beautiful architecture and nature. New facilities are still being built. Convenient location. A good place to spend holidays. (Original) Глоток свежего воздуха среди подобных комплексов-музеев. Много активностей с самостоятельным участием. Красивая архитектура и природа. Всё ещё строятся новые объекты. Удобное месторасположение. Хорошее место для проведения праздников.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful idea and implementation! I wish this place prosperity! It will be of interest to everyone: lovers of history, nature, entertainment and simply delicious food. We thoroughly enjoyed the excursion in Belarusian) (Original) Замечательная идея и реализация! Желаю процветания этому месту! Здесь будет интересно всем: любителям истории, природы, развлечений и просто вкусной еды. Получили огромное удовольствие от экскурсии на белорусском языке)

(Translated by Google) In the summer I was on an excursion to Sula. The place is very interesting, many different locations. Of course, a guide's story is required. We didn't get around everything in a whole day. We started with a house-museum, then there was a puppet theater and a performance in it. I liked the post office and the boat ride. We had lunch in a restaurant, the prices are steep, but the taste is excellent. (Original) Летом была на экскурсии в Суле.Место очень интересно,много разнообразных локаций.Конечно требуется рассказ экскурсовода.За весь день всё не обошли.Начали с домика-музея,потом был кукольный театр и представление в нем.Мне понравилась почта и катание на кораблике.Обедали в ресторане,цены кусаются,но вкусовые качества на высоте.

(Translated by Google) A very cool place, There is a castle, a Masonic outbuilding, an estate, you can swim on a drakkar, on a large lake, there is Baba Yaga's house, Of course, it is very difficult to get there... (Original) Очень крутое место, Есть замок, флигель масонов, усадьба, можно поплавать на дракаре, на большом озере, есть дом бабы яги, Конечно добираться очень тяжело...

A truly unique gem of nature. You must walk at least a hundred meters to be able to swim comfortably without feeling the plants beneath you. Although the lake is huge, there is not a single dedicated parking space near a reasonably cleaned beach for arriving tourists to take a dip. Somewhat disappointing.

I can't forget such a beautiful place like here

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful and largest lake in Belarus. There are many ducks and swans, a beautiful coastline with many sanatoriums. Due to the fact that people feed wild birds (which is prohibited), they live on the lake all year round. This caused the water in the lake to be polluted by parasitic larvae and causes the disease cercariasis, which is also called “swimmer’s itch.” (Original) Очень красивое и самое большое озеро в Беларуси. Много уток и лебедей, красивое побережье, на котором много санаториев. Из-за того, что люди прикармливают диких птиц (что запрещено), они круглогодично живут на озере. Это стало причиной загрязнения воды в озере паразитами-личинками и вызывает заболевание церкариоз, которое ещё называют "зуд купальщика".

(Translated by Google) Great! If the weather is good, be sure to take a catamaran or a yacht (if the company is large), the cost of the first is 10 rubles/hour, the second 70 rubles/hour. There is nowhere to eat, come with your own food 😃 (Original) Здорово! Если погода хорошая обязательно возьмите катомаран или яхту (если компания большая), стоимость первого 10 руб/час, второго 70 руб/час. Покушать негде, приезжайте со своей едой 😃

(Translated by Google) The largest lake in Belarus, a great place to enjoy nature. Clean water, fresh air, hot sun - what else is needed for happiness? You can fish, but you must purchase a fishing permit. I recommend it. (Original) Самое большое озеро в Беларуси, отличное место, чтобы насладиться природой. Чистая вода, свежий воздух, жаркое солнце- что ещё нужно для счастья? Можно ловить рыбу, но необходимо приобрести путевку на рыбную ловлю. Рекомендую.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful places! There are pine forests all around. But I want the water in Lake Naroch to be as clean as it was 40 years ago. Now it's not so clean! (Original) Красивые места ! Кругом сосновый лес. Но хочется что бы вода в озере Нарочь была такой чистой как и лет 40 назад. Теперь она не такая чистая !

(Translated by Google) Naroch is the largest lake in Belarus. The area of ​​its mirror is 79.6 km². The greatest depth is 24.8 m. The length of the greatest diameter is 12.8 km. The length of the coastline is 40 km (fourth place among the lakes of Belarus). The volume of water is 710 million m³ (first place among the lakes of Belarus). The catchment area is 199 km². The volume of water is 0.71 km³. Surface area - 79.62 km². The height above sea level is 165 m. A total of sixteen streams flow into the lake, in addition to them, the Skema channel from Lake Myastro flows into Naroch from the east side, and the Naroch River flows out from the southeast. Naroch is home to twenty-two species of fish (including eels), of which the largest is pike. On the lake and in the surrounding area there are nesting sites for mute swan, little tern, osprey, and little grebe. Lake Naroch appeared several thousand years ago, during the retreat of the glacier. The Sventsyanskaya ridge stood on the glacier’s path to the north. The water from the melting ice formed a huge body of water, from which subsequently, with a decrease in water level, lakes emerged that formed the Naroch group. Naroch is a typical representative of the nature of the north of Belarus - the Belarusian Lake District. During the First World War, the Naroch offensive operation took place in the vicinity of the lake in March 1916, the first attempt to liberate the territory of Belarus from the German occupiers. Despite the massive heroism shown by the Russian troops, the Naroch operation ended only in local success - the liberation of the city of Postavy and ten square kilometers of territory. The total number of dead and wounded on the Russian side was 78,000 people. In 1935, Vilnius photographer Jan Buglak published a book entitled “Narocz - the largest lake in Poland.” From 1935 to 1939, the lake was the subject of a fishing strike caused by the injustice of the agricultural and tax policies of the Polish Republic. On the shore of the lake there are settlements: the resort village of Naroch, the villages of Antonisberg, Simony, Cherevki, Pasynki, Nikoltsy, Gatovichi, Zanaroch, Zubrenevka, Borovye, Nanosy, Stepenevo. There are numerous sanatoriums, the oldest of which is the Naroch sanatorium (1963), the Zubrenok children's center. (Original) Нарочь — самое большое озеро в Белоруссии. Площадь его зеркала — 79,6 км². Наибольшая глубина — 24,8 м. Длина наибольшего поперечника — 12,8 км. Длина береговой линии — 40 км (четвёртое место среди озёр Белоруссии). Объём воды — 710 млн м³ (первое место среди озёр Белоруссии). Площадь водосбора — 199 км². Объём воды — 0,71 км³. Площадь поверхности — 79,62 км². Высота над уровнем моря — 165 м. Всего в озеро впадает шестнадцать ручьёв, помимо них с восточной стороны в Нарочь впадает проток Скема из озера Мястро, а с юго-восточной — вытекает река Нарочь. В Нарочи обитает двадцать два вида рыб (в том числе угорь), из них наиболее крупная — щука. На озере и в округе имеются гнездовья лебедя-шипуна, малой крачки, скопы, малой поганки. Озеро Нарочь возникло несколько тысячелетий назад, при отступлении ледника. На пути ледника к северу встала Свенцянская гряда. Вода от таявшего льда образовала огромное водное пространство, из которого впоследствии, с понижением уровня воды, выделились озёра, образовавшие Нарочанскую группу. Нарочь — типичный представитель природы севера Белоруссии — Белорусского Поозерья. Во время Первой мировой войны в окрестностях озера в марте 1916 года проходила Нарочская наступательная операция — первая попытка освобождения территории Белоруссии от германских оккупантов. Несмотря на проявленный русскими войсками массовый героизм, Нарочская операция завершилась лишь локальным успехом — освобождением города Поставы и десяти квадратных километров территории. Общее число погибших и раненых с русской стороны составило 78 000 человек. В 1935 году виленский фотограф Ян Буглакиздал книгу под названием «Нарочь — самое большое озеро в Польше». С 1935 по 1939 год озеро являлось предметом рыбацкой забастовки, вызванной несправедливостью аграрной и налоговой политики Польской Республики. На берегу озера расположены населённые пункты: курортный посёлок Нарочь, деревни: Антонисберг, Симоны, Черевки, Пасынки, Никольцы, Гатовичи, Занарочь, Зубренёвка, Боровые, Наносы, Степенёво. Имеются многочисленные санатории, старейший из них санаторий «Нарочь» (1963), детский центр «Зубрёнок».

Mir Castle, located in Belarus, is one of the most prominent cultural heritages and recognized by UNESCO. This 16th century Renaissance castle is not only famous for its unique architecture but also associated with many mysterious stories and legends.

A wonderful thing about Belarus management of such landmarks, is that they turn whole area into an open museum, with all its lakes, fields, trees and animals. The place is full of history, arts and beauty of both architecture and nature.

🇧🇾❤️❤️❤️Belarus is so beautiful and cute 🥰

Very nice location It worth to visit it Take also a walk in the park

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!

The Mir castle is a wonderful and inspiring place. Definitely a must see is the tour inside with beautiful rooms.

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.

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.

Tickets for cash only! Just a renewed castle without any interesting things inside.

Fabulous cattle! One of the best in Belarus! Recommend to visit!

Big and great castle, memories long common past of lithuanians and byelorussians nations

Small restored castle. But there's nothing to see.

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.
