After that, we will go to Goleni. This is a small village where we will visit the ancient Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is an architectural monument. It is included in the list of historical and cultural values.
In Veino, we will visit the Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary built in 1810. This is the only church in Belarus in which all the corners are rounded.
The village of Dashkovka is known for its cultural heritage. Here we will see the 200-year-old Zhukovsky manor with a landscaped park and unique views of the Dnieper floodplain.
We will finish our tour in Saltanovka. There is a Memorial Chapel in memory of the Patriotic War of 1812, an important historical monument in the neoclassical style.
