Kletsk. The hospital building.

         On the outskirts of the town of Kletsk, near the lake and the ancient settlement, there is a former hospital building. The building was built during the Russian Empire in 1909 from red brick.

                   Kletsk was first mentioned in written sources in 1127. In those days, Kletsk was the center of the appanage principality. In the 14th century, the Principality of Kletsk was part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In 1401, Prince Vytautas transferred the City to Sigismund Keystutovich.

      In 1503, the town of Kletsk was burned down by the Crimean Tatars. In the summer of 1506, Grand Duke Alexander sent an army led by Prince Mikhail Glinsky and the army of the Crimean Tatars was defeated near Kletsk.

     In 1559, Dumpling was granted a privilege by Grand Duke Sigismund Augustus to hold regular fairs. In 1652, King Jan Casimir gave the town of Kletsk the Magdeburg right and the coat of arms.

        After the second partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1793, Kletsk became part of the Russian Empire.

         At the beginning of the 20th century, a hospital building was built on the outskirts of Kletsk. The monument was erected in the eclectic style with elements of Art Nouveau and Neo-Gothic and consists of three buildings. The building is one-story, covered with a hip roof. The front facade has a symmetrical composition with three risalites. The central risalite is decorated with a wide entrance opening. The facades of the monument are richly decorated with decorative plastics.
