In medieval times such eateries and inns were a compulsory attribute of old Belarusian settlements.
Korchmas were usually distinguished by lanterns above their entrances and massive doors with iron-wrought handles and latches, and big inviting signs. This modern-day korchma has all the attributes of its 19th-century counterparts – special door and window wooden decorations, a tiled roof, an outside stairway and stucco molding. Its interior is retro-styled in line with the 19th-century traditions.
