The tour begins with the local "Khatyn" village of Stefanovo, which was completely ruthlessly destroyed along with all the inhabitants.
A place of pain and memory.


Memorial complex “Stefanovo".

The temple, which has changed beyond recognition, but has been preserved to this day, although it is not used for its intended purpose, it still serves people.

Svetilovichi. St. Louis Church

The museum is new, but nevertheless interesting: here is a fragment of an ancient fresco removed from the walls of the church before its destruction, as well as the memory of the famous Belarusian artist V.K. Byalynitsky-Birulya, a native of the local area.

Belynichi. V. K. Byalynitsky-Birulya Art Museum.

A place rich in history, which is now evidenced by Castle Hill and a memorial sign.
Here, the Swedish King Charles 12 won his last victory.

Golovchin. Castle Hill and a memorial sign.

The only preserved wooden church in the area, which is more than 200 years old.

In 2020, the Church of the Intercession turned 200 years old! This is the only preserved Orthodox Wooden church in the territory of the Shklovsky district.

Bolshye Lozitsy. The Intercession Church.

The once beautiful frescoed temple is now in ruins and is gradually collapsing.
A great location for ruins-therapy.

Staraya Vodva. Intercession Church.

Another magnificent temple that was not spared by circumstances and time.
Nearby is an abandoned building of a former Dominican monastery.
Even in ruins, the religious building impresses with its scale and architecture.
Hurry up to see it before it disappears into eternity...

Knyazhitsy. Church of St. Anthony.

Another location for ruins-therapy, and another temple, which turned out to be destroyed, but not forgotten.
Local residents, despite the fact that the temple is in ruins, have created an altar inside the building, put up icons and a cross, and hope that the time will come and the old building will be restored.
