Kossovo - Ruzhany

In the second half of the 19th century, soon after Kastusya Kalinovsky's revolt, in the territory of Belarus churches which have received the name «muravyevka» were in large quantities built. The Orthodox churches of the same name were under construction by order of the governor general Muravyev. One of such monuments of architecture has remained also in Kosovo. Here he represents the retrospective-Russian style.

Cold February, 1746, in even wooden church of the village of Kosovo, christened the Boy Tadeusz. And parents didn't suspect still that their son will become the world famous military, the revolutionary and the political figure. And in century on this place there was a bright representative of style of a neogottika - the Troitsk church which works to this day and attracts with fine shape guests and residents of Kosovo.

The natural boundary Merechevshchina is a small homeland of the person who became the hero of two continents. The exposition of the museum located against the background of the picturesque nature acquaints with life and famous Litvin's achievements of Andriy Tadeusz Bonaventura Kosciusko. Here both reflection of life, and the copy of his personalized weapon, and a braid - weapon of peasants-kosinyerov who battled under supervision of Tadeusz Kosciusko, and objects of use of a small Belarusian shlyakhta.

Kossovo Palace of the Puslovskys - one of the most beautiful architectural monuments in Belarus, preserved to this day. Built in the first half of the XIX century, palace has more than 100 rooms and 12 towers, each of which symbolizes the month of the year. The so-called Kossovo castle during its prosperity was a constant object of discussion, thanks to its curiosities. According to the stories of local residents, in one of the rooms was a glass floor, under which the contents of an aquarium with fish, and at night the palace wandered silently and guarded the owners' property by a real lion.

One of the oldest temples in Pruzhanshchina and an example of refined architectural Baroque style – Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Ruzhanakh. Together with the remained inhabited constructions of the monastery she decorates the central square of the town. 10 years the court architect Sapeg Jan Samuel Becker worked on creation of an architectural masterpiece – in the second half of the 18th century the majestic temple with lines of baroque has been consecrated for the sake of apostles Pyotr and Pavel. We suggest to see him and to learn about history and the present of a monastic complex.

5 centuries ago the grand-ducal chancellor Lev Sapega together with the wife Aleksandra became church fundator in an entail property – in Ruzhanakh. Then it was the wooden temple, later – stone, further – several reorganizations … And here now to our eyes the view of quite modest silhouette of classical style opens, but it is worth entering inside – refined interiors win attention, and the improbable sound of body – pleases hearing.

Ruzhana – very remarkable Belarusian town where the patrimonial nest of Sapeg – the Palace palace has settled down characteristic of the Italian Renaissance. Guests from all Belarus and from the different countries of Mira are attracted here by arcades and ruins – and is once, Jan Sapega accepted the king of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Sigismund Stary here, treated him with local mead from a large crystal glass. At one time here even the state treasury of the principality was stored, and the solid arsenal was placed. Time and soldiers haven't spared creation to this day not of the famous architect, however our contemporaries actively restore a masterpiece. For now, you visit already restored halls of entrance gate and you will walk among majestic arcades of the palace.
