On the memorable places of the Czartoryski family.

The route "Through the memorials of the Czartoryski family" offers a unique opportunity to trace the legacy of one of the most powerful and influential princely families of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Traveling through different regions of Belarus allows you to see how the activities of this famous family have left an indelible mark on the stone and the history of the Belarusian lands.

A special place in this gallery is occupied by the figure of Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski (1770-1861), a statesman, diplomat and philanthropist. Through his efforts, the key facilities of this tour were restored and built.

Thus, in the agricultural town of Khmelevo, Brest region, thanks to his support, the Transfiguration Church, a monument of wooden architecture of the XVIII century, was restored.

And in Shereshevo, the prince helped restore from the ashes the majestic bell tower of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin, which today is a rare example of wooden classicism.

The Czartoryskys are known not only as builders of temples, but also as patrons of the arts.

In the village of Lyskovo there is the grave of the poet Frantishek Karpinski, whose talent blossomed precisely thanks to the patronage of Adam Czartoryski, who invited him to Warsaw.

The civil and urban planning role of the family was vividly manifested in Shklov, where, on the initiative of the prince, a new city center with a town hall was erected after a devastating fire, and in Stolbtsy, where St. Anna's Cathedral was built at his expense.

This tour is not just a sightseeing tour, but an immersion in an era when the fate of cities and cultural creations was largely determined by the will and taste of enlightened magnates, such as the representatives of the Czartoryski family.

Each point of the route reveals a new facet of their multifaceted influence on the history and cultural landscape of Belarus.
