Korelichi region + Ishkold (1 route): Simakovo-Ishkold-Bolshaya Medvyadka-Malye Zhukhovichi-Bolshye Zhukhovichi-Voroncha-Raitsa.
Description
This tour offers a leisurely exploration and enjoyment of the key attractions of the predominantly Korelichi district.
In the village of Ishkold, Baranovichi district, we will see the Church of the Holy Trinity, which has managed to preserve its authenticity for several centuries. It is the oldest church in Belarus, which has not been rebuilt at all - and this is a unique case!
During the trip, we will admire other ancient temples of various religions, which are unique examples of architecture.
We will visit Bolshaya Medvyadka, where the estate belonging to the Domeyko family was located. It was in this estate that Ignat Domeyko, a scientist and public figure, was born. We will also visit the church where he was baptized.
Let's go to the town of Voroncha, where many prominent Belarusian writers and historians have visited. Writer V. Korotkevich called Voroncha an "eternal museum". To this day, the remains of the former manor and park ensemble have been preserved here: a church, a brewery, a park and the remains of several outbuildings. We will take a walk through the ancient park and visit the ancient local necropolis.
We will visit the village of Raitsa, where the Raetsky-Puttkamer estate is located. Today, there is a park, a plebania and a pillar with the coat of arms of the Raetskys. It gives the impression that time has been frozen for at least a century, but you can still feel its inexorable flow.…
Take a trip to these interesting places and you won't be disappointed!
