Voistom. The grave of the writer Ignatiy Khodko.

 In the village of Voistom, Smorgon district, there are several monuments of architecture, archeology, geology and antiquity. At the beginning of the 20th century, a huge Catholic church of the Holy Trinity was built here. If you go to the place from Smorgon, you will see the Voistom boulder monument of geology and the monument of archeology – the hillfort.
