Minsk. The building of the men's theological college.

       In the city of Minsk, at the intersection of Revolutsionnaya Street and Lenin Street, there is a building of the former men's theological college. The building was built of brick in the second half of the 18th century during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

        At first, the house was L-shaped in plan, had two floors with a basement. The building belonged to the town estate of the Przezdetskys, and was a wing attached to the estate. During the Russian Empire in the 19th century, the building was rebuilt. The house has become U-shaped in plan. A third floor was added to the front parts of the house.

        In that period of the 19th - early 20th century, a men's theological school worked in this building. According to other sources, there was a college dormitory here.

        After the revolution, Soviet institutions worked in the house: the People's Commissariat of Education of Soviet Belarus, in the period 1922-1925 the Institute of Belarusian Culture (Inbelcult) worked.

     Famous Belarusian scientists and public figures were employees of Inbelcult: philologist Stepan Nekrashevich, historian Vsevolod Ignatovsky, writer Maxim Goretsky, geographer Nikolai Azbukin, poet Mikhailo Gromyko, folk poets Yanka Kupala and Yakub Kolas and many other figures.

         In the 1990s, a monument to Maxim Goretsky, a classic of Belarusian literature, was erected near the building.

     After the Great Patriotic War, there was a cinema. Now there are various institutions working here, for example, the Committee on Architecture and Construction.
