Grodno is an amazing city that is definitely worth a visit for those who are interested in history and architecture. It is as if you can travel back in time here. Especially if you visit the House of the Master (Bosniac House), which presents an exposition dedicated to Gorodnitsa – a historical district from the time of Anthony Tizengauz.

Unique architectural monument

The museum is located on Ozheshko Street in Grodno and stands out among the typical buildings. This one-storey house with a baroque gable is immediately striking. It seems as if the symmetrically located windows grow into the ground.

The building of Gorodnitsa museum in Grodno is a monument of urban planning of the second half of the 18th century. Architects Johann Meser and Giuseppe de Sacco worked on the project. The ground floor has a vestibule, living room and kitchen. From here, an old staircase leads to the attic.

This branch of the Archaeological Museum in Grodno is built of wooden beams and bricks. The house was renovated in 1990. The first exposition appeared here in 1994.
