On this tour you will visit ancient religious buildings (churches, a church, a chapel), built at different times and in different architectural styles; a horse-drawn post station, which has not been preserved so much, and previously no big trip was complete without them; the house museum of the world-famous Tadeusz Kosciuszko, who spent his childhood years here; and the cherry on the cake will be a visit to the restored Puslovsky Palace in Kossovo, whose architecture, interiors and historical vicissitudes will not leave anyone indifferent! PS: the places here are rich in attractions, and it is not possible to include them in the program of one day, so they are divided into several excursions that are available on this website.

The 19th-century church combines elements of Neo-Gothic and classicism.
The interior of the temple is decorated with ancient icons, and the old iconostasis, preserved since the 19th century, gives the room a special solemnity.

The Church of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist is a spiritual monument unique in its history and atmosphere.

Bulla. The Church of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist.

The stone Orthodox Church of the Assumption was built in 1773-1779 on the site of an old church built during the Russian Empire in the late Baroque style.
The main facade is decorated with a figured Baroque pediment, currencies, pilasters and has a developed entablature, with a bell tower rising above the facade.

A wooden Orthodox church was built in the local cemetery in the 17th – 18th centuries during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the traditions of folk wooden architecture.

The Puslovsky Palace, which is also called the Kossovsky Castle, is a real pearl of Belarus!
The architectural monument of the 19th century, built in the retrogothic style, impresses with its architecture and has a rich history.
I recommend that you book an excursion in advance to learn a lot of interesting facts about the palace and its inhabitants.
You can eat and buy souvenirs in the parking lot opposite the palace.

Puslovsky Palace (Kossovo)

An interesting atmospheric house museum in a very picturesque place, where Tadeusz Kosciuszko, known worldwide as a national hero not only of Belarus, but also of Poland, the USA, and an honorary citizen of France, spent his first 9 years of his life.

The Catholic chapel, built in 1859 in a retrospective Gothic style, is located in an ancient rural cemetery.
This is a wonderful example of Gothic architecture, and I recommend visiting this Catholic chapel to anyone who travels around Belarus and passes through Kossovo.
