Rogachev region: Rogachev-Dovsk.

Description

Our tour begins in ancient Rogachev, a small town in the Gomel region, which was founded in 1142.

The city is rich in sights and historical and cultural values, which I suggest you see for yourself.


We start from the ancient cemetery, where you will see 3 tomb chapels, each of which has its own history.


Next, we will visit a beautiful church with a rich history; a local museum where we will learn a lot about the history and culture of the local places; ancient buildings of the former zemstvo council, a former real school and a famous merchant; a Neo-Gothic church, miraculously preserved to this day.


Last of all, we will visit the place where the city of Rogachev began: Castle Hill is one of the most famous and iconic historical sites located on the banks of the Dnieper River. This place attracts the attention of both locals and tourists due to its rich history. The ancient Rogachev settlement is an archaeological monument dating back to the 1st millennium BC. The first settlement was located here, the Rogachev Castle and the first local temple were located here. Today, the hill offers wonderful views of the surrounding area.


We are completing our tour in Dovsk, where we will see a beautiful Orthodox church built in the classical style with elements of a retrospective Russian trend. 


Come to the Rogachev region and get to know its sights and beauties better.
