Pustynsky Holy Dormition Monastery is one of the oldest in our country. It is located in Mstislavl district, almost at the border with Russia. The history of the tenement goes back more than half a century. The founder is considered to be Mstislavl Prince Lugveny (Simeon), the son of the Grand Duke Olgerd. According to legend, the ruler founded the monastery at a spring, the water from which helped him heal from blindness. The spring has not dried up to this day.
The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the pearl of Sar'ya agro-town in Verkhnedvinsk district. The red brick religious building is called a unique example of neo-Gothic. The temple was built in the mid-19th century with funds from the local landowner Ignatius Lopatinsky. The nobleman wanted to perpetuate the memory of his wife Maria, who died suddenly, with the majestic building.
Another striking example of neo-Gothic architecture is the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Nacha village, Voronovo district. The settlement is located literally a kilometer from the Belarusian-Lithuanian border. The temple, built in the early 20th century, is decorated with two high towers with sharp spires. The highlight of the facade is the rose window.
In Khotyslav village, Malorita district, not far from the Belarusian-Ukrainian border, a rare example of wooden baroque has been preserved. This is the Transfiguration Church, built at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. The interior was decorated with a carved iconostasis.
On the bank of the Dnieper in Peredelka village, Loev district, stands the former estate of Countess Baranovskaya. The complex includes the estate house, an outbuilding and a park. The main two-story building is a monument of classicism. Its facade is decorated with majestic columns and a wide balcony.
