Program

During the excursion including such places as Ruzhany - Merechevschina - Kossovo you will learn about the history and culture of this region of Belarus.

The tour tells about the life of the Belarusian, the national hero of Poland and the United States, a French citizen - Tadeush Kostyushko and goes through the places related to his life. The majestic palaces in Ruzhany and Kossovo, the house-museum of Kosciusko with an interesting exposition and landscaping make this route one of the brightest in Belarus!

Ruzhany - the ancient city known since 1490. Excursion on the territory of the castle. Irreparable damage to the ensemble caused the Second World War. In the village remained several monuments. These are the Trinity Church (1615), the former Basilian monastery (1788) and the Peter and Paul Church (1778).

And then - a delicious lunch.

In the farm Merechevshchina, located on the outskirts of the town of Kossovo, in 1746 in the family of Ludvik Tadeush Kostyushko - a representative of the ancient family, information about which dates back to the beginning of the XVI century - the future leader of the national liberation movement was born. House-museum of Tadeush Kostyushko, recreated according to the drawing of Napoleon Orda, was opened here.

By the number of inhabitants, Kossovo is one of the smallest township in Belarus, and by the number of attractions it’s not small at all! A neo-gothic church was situated in the place of a burnt wooden shrine in which Tadeush Kostyushko was baptized.

Экскурсия состоялась при хорошей погоде с замечательным экскурсоводом и не менее замечательным водителем. Мы смогли увидеть и услышать достаточно много интересной и познавательной информации о жизни Т.Костюшко и династии Сапегов, посетить дворцы и костелы в Коссово и Ружанах.
