Let's go further sightseeingBelarus by car. Khatyn Memorial Complex, located in the village of the same name, causes both sadness and delight. The village itself was burned to the ground along with all its inhabitants in March 1943. Only three people from the village could survive - an elderly man and two boys.
The authorities of the Soviet Union considered it their dutyto perpetuate the memory of the victims of that terrible event and similar horrors of the war period. Therefore, in 1969 they opened the Khatyn memorial complex. It includes a sculpture of an escaped old man from the village, who is carrying the dying child in his arms. Sculpting conveys tremendous emotional power. The prototype of the artifact was Joseph Kaminsky, a blacksmith, tracked down under a pile of the corpses of his dying offspring. Every half minute in “Khatyn” the bells ring out, amplifying the effect of what they see.
Country of locks
Sights of Belarus, whose photosdemonstrated in our review, this is a huge number of palaces. Each of them awarded individual praise and descriptions. For example, Golshansky Castle is a monument of defensive architecture of the XVI-XVII centuries. It is located in the village of Golshany and was built on the orders of Paul Stefan Sapega in 1610. Once it was a majestic building of rectangular shape, with an area of 89 meters * 69 meters. And today it has turned into ruins that are overgrown with shrubs. Dungeons, where the history of the country was going on in the old days, are covered with earth and do not represent much interest. The east wing and a pair of towers boast a slightly better condition.
