Memorial Complex Buinitskaye Pole
This memorial complex is located in the Mahilyow neighborhood, and it is dedicated to the Great Patriotic War. There are many monuments in Belarus associated with the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945), but this one is of particular importance. During the war, the Germans planned to quickly capture Mahilyow, but the defense of the city lasted 23 days.

To honor such a heroic defense, a memorial complex was erected in 2002. There are the remains of military equipment in the territory of the memorial complex.
Konstantin Simonov described the events of those days in his novel The Living and the Dead. Konstantin worked as a war correspondent and was present during the defense of the city. Therefore, you can start reading this book if you plan to visit the memorial complex. It will allow you to feel the atmosphere of those years deeply.
There are curb drops at this facility, so people with disabilities can move there freely.
The Blue Spring
The largest spring in Eastern Europe is located in the village of Kliny. The spring is considered to be sacred and many people believe that its water has a healing effect on the body. Indeed, the water is potable and mineral-rich, so tourists fill the containers with it and bring them home.
Moreover, there is a legend that if a person crosses the lake three times, he or she will never get sick. But if you want to try it, you should know that even though the spring water is emerald clean, it is very cold.
Kosava Castle
The next sight is the village of Kosava in the Ivatsevichy region. There tourists will find the Puslowskichs' Neogothic Palace. The building has 12 towers — the number is related to the number of months of the year.
There were 132 rooms in the palace. And there are still legends of the interior decoration of the Puslowskichs' mansion. For example, one of the legends says that there used to be musical stairs: the wall near the stairs was made of hollow bones of animals, so if clothes touched the wall, a musical effect was created.
The palace had a complicated history: it was gambled away, its owners changed frequently, it was plundered during the First World War and burned during the Second World War. But despite this, the palace was restored and today tourists take tours there.
Church of the Holy Trinity
However, the list of the sights of Belarus would not be complete if we have not mentioned at least one religious building. The Church of the Holy Trinity is what every traveler should vesit! The church is located in the village of Hervyiaty of the Hrodna region.
