The ancient castle of the Belarusian gentry. I am delighted with everything: starting from the castle itself, ending with an excursion conducted by the wonderful guide Svetlana for us????

The Historical and Cultural Complex “Stalin line” is 26 km from the Minsk and 6 km from Zaslavl town. The Historical and Cultural Complex “Stalin line” was founded on 60-th anniversary of soviet people Victory in the Great Patriotic war (IIWW) and it was opened on the 30th of June 2005 in memory of soldures who defend Minsk in 1941. Main museum exposition is related to first days of the Great Patriotic war. “Stalin line” is the chain of defensive installations along the former USSR frontier from Karelian Isthmus to the shores of Black sea. It consisted of twenty three fortified regions including more than four thousand permanent weapon emplacements (pillboxes). All are made from high quality fortification concrete. Four fortified regions – Polotsk, Minsk, Slutsk, Mozyr – were at territory of Belarus in total nine hundred sixty-six pillboxes. Fortified regions formed a united defense line. The entire line of the fortified regions had been built since 1928 till the autumn 1939. Minsk’s fortified region No 63, which was 140 kilometers long included 327 pillboxes. On 26-28th of June 1941 at the lines of the Minsk`s fortified region there was fierce fighting with the attacking units of the German army. The Military-museum exposition was created and planed, so that from first steps a visitor could feel spirit of that time. The opportunity to be absorbed in history is one of the distinctive features of the museum. The basis of the exposition is original pillboxes. All entrenchments and communication trenches with rifle-pits for machine-guns and with blindages and recesses for ammunition were reconstructed according to the year 1940 designs. There is a park of military equipment of different years in the museum. It is the most complete exposition of military equipment in the Republic of Belarus, which was adopted by USSR army in different years, beginning from the Second World War. The museum territory is organized for reenactments of IIWW and modern fights which are planed like special events and happen approximately 10-14 times a year.

This is the place to learn about the way life was in Belarus in days past. It is a recreated village with separate buildings in which craftsmen and women demonstrate period skills--pottery, blacksmithing, cooking and baking, thatching, spinning, etc, Some of the exhibits encourage visitors to participate in the making of their products. There's even a demonstration on the making of "samogon"--a local version of moonshine whiskey. On the premise is an authentic windmill and the windmill owner's cottage. Visitors can go inside both the windmill and the cottage to learn about this important part of early Belorussian life. Also, be sure to visit the incredibly beautiful, wooden Orthodox Church on the premises. We took a personally-guided tour. Our guide was amazing. She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very personable. I consider this museum complex a "must see" and well worth a day trip from Minsk.
