I moved to Grodno from Minsk in 2015. And to tell the truth, then I was somehow disappointed with this city from the start. I don’t know if my Grodno friends will understand me, but from the “Royal Grodno” and “The Very beautiful city Belarus” somehow a priori expecting something more. The fact that the Soviet Union walked along these edges like a natural disaster is noticeable to the naked eye. Therefore, walking around Grodno, you willy-nilly stumble upon the giant silhouettes of city executive committees that rise right above the historical center; you see the "Khrushchev" buildings that prop up the old houses, and the castles, which were rebuilt in such a way that now they rather resemble some kind of regional palace of culture of textile workers.

It is bitter to admit, but Grodno has long lost its royal charm. And (even worse) the inhabitants of the local city executive committees seem to be absolutely satisfied with this.

The country that easily found 350 million dollars for the construction of the Minsk Arena alone for almost 30 years cannot find funds to restore its own monuments of antiquity. I don’t know about you, but personally I would rather spend this money on the restoration of the historical center of Grodno. For example, for the restoration of Vitovt's Farah, the reconstruction of the New Castle, or for making the Collegium a Jesuit again from the Grodno prison. But this, of course, is all from the “Dreams-dreams” category. Therefore, further I will try to leave these arguments behind the scenes.

In this article I will show you Grodno as it is. I'll tell you about the most interesting places worth visiting during your trip. And I will help you plan your itinerary around the city if you suddenly decide to come here for the weekend. Are you ready for a short walk around Grodno? Then let's get started. Still, whatever one may say, Grodno is one of the most colorful cities of our Motherland.

Holy Intercession Cathedral and Lutheran Church

Yes, I know, these are not the TOP sights of Grodno. But if you walk into the center from the railway station, it is this M&A duo that will catch your eye first. The church will be on the left side, opposite a nice panel with historical figures of Belarus. And the church is a little away from it - right behind the building of the local university.

Some time ago it was refurbished (or “refurbished”), so now it gives me mixed feelings. Once I look at her and see Barbie's house. And another time you take a look, it seems like nothing ... Only the factory building standing nearby constantly spoils my shots.

It feels like watching "Harry Potter" and "Afonya" at the same time. Damn… Respect the architectural context in Soviet Union of course they could.

Bogdanovich Museum.

What to see nearby? The beautiful building of the Maxim Bogdanovich Museum and Zhiliber Park (which at the end of the 18th century included more than 2000 rare plants and was considered perhaps the best park in Europe).

Today it is a regular park. Forgive us, Jean Emmanuel. We don't know how to take care of flowers.

"Building overgrown with ivy" (Grodno State University)

One of the most photogenic locations in Grodno. Especially in autumn, when the whole building is in literally the words become colorful.

Farny Church (aka the Cathedral of Francis Xavier)

He is in Grodno, like Tony Stark in the Marvel universe. Main star and the most famous actor, who regularly chains the lenses of all cameras to himself. It is believed that the clock on its left tower is the oldest in Europe. It is known for certain that they are at least older than the church itself. Their mechanism is driven by a special weight weighing 70 kilograms. And in order for the system to work properly, every day a special mechanism raises it to the height of a five-story building.

However, this church is interesting not only because of the clock on the tower. I like it, both outside and inside. Its baroque altar is one of the highest in Europe. And the pharmacy, built next to the church, remains the oldest operating pharmacy in Belarus.

There is even a free museum there. Without deer poop and dried toads (as in a pharmacy). But still very decent. It's definitely worth a look here. The church complex is very cool. Do not take away, do not add.

What to see nearby? My favorite courtyard in Grodno.

It is located right behind the church and looks as stunning as I do after shopping in Bialystok. A very photogenic place. The only negative is the foreign cars of the servants of God, which, at times, turn the yard into a kind of parking lot.

Brigid's Church and Karl Marx Street

To convey all my attitude to this part of Grodno, I will simply note one fact: it is her photograph that flaunts as the title photo of this publication. If we take out the pedestrian Sovetskaya Street, then I would call Karl Marx Street the most beautiful in Grodno. In addition, at the very end of it is the beautiful Brigid Church, which is not spoiled even by the huge concrete box of the Soviet main post office, located right behind it. In the pre-sunset hours, here are the views.

In fact, it is somewhere here that the old city of Grodno ends.

What to see nearby? "Kasyu and Basyu" - two old water towers surrounded by a ring of Soviet high-rise buildings.

From Brigid's Church, walk to them metro 300-400. If you are afraid of getting lost, use the offline navigator MAPS.ME.

Grodno castles

If you are not too lazy to wind an extra circle, then from the same "Kasi and Basya" you can walk towards the Bernardine Church and the Drama Theater of Grodno, which stands on a hill near the banks of the Neman. I read somewhere that, according to the plan of the architects, the appearance of this theater was supposed to resemble the towers of the old city (although, as for me, it looks more like a giant gear).

If you walk past it (behind another series of Khrushchevs), two Grodno castles will appear. Restoration work has been going on in the Old Castle recently. The building is moving. And even despite the restoration, which is striking in its curvature, which I went to a couple of months ago, I still look at this event with some kind of timid hope. Still, there are good examples of the restoration of castles in Belarus. So let's cross our fingers. Hold on, old castle, I believe in you!!!

As for the New Castle, it stands directly opposite. Here, as with the last film about the "Avengers" - in order to miss it, you need to try very hard. When you go inside the courtyard, pay attention to the beautiful gate with sculptures on top. This is one of the few details that has survived intact to this day.

The new castle in Grodno was built in 1751. The Seims of the Commonwealth were held here, and in 1793 an agreement was signed on its division between Russia and Prussia. It is in this building Grand Duke Stanisław August Poniatowski signed the abdication. Since that time, dark times began for the castle. During the period of Russian domination, there were first a barracks and a hospital. Then - the department of the CPSU. And in 1944 the palace burned down completely and was subsequently rebuilt in the style of Soviet neoclassicism. In the middle of the 18th century, the building looked like this.

At present (as I already said) it looks more like some kind of regional palace of culture.

I hope that the tourist boom and a successful example of the restoration of the Old Castle (if this happens) will make the Grodno administration think about how to restore its historical appearance.

Ghetto, Choral Synagogue and Zamkova Street

In general, at one time Belarus was one of the most “Jewish” states in Europe. If someone does not know, at a certain period Yiddish even appeared state language in our country. Most of the Grodno Jews lived in the area where the Great Choral Synagogue is located today. However, after the sad events of the Second World War, their number in Grodno decreased sharply.

I think everyone understands what I'm talking about. Where Zamkova Street is today, there was a Jewish ghetto in the 1940s. The synagogue (built, by the way, back in the 16th century) was used as a receiver-store before the Jews were sent to concentration camps. The complex itself was destroyed. And because of the once rich decoration, now almost nothing remains.

AT Soviet times the building housed a warehouse, and only after the restoration of the independence of Belarus in 1991, the synagogue was again transferred to the Jewish community. Some time later, restoration work began on the complex. Currently, the Grodno synagogue is largest building of this kind in Belarus.

What to see nearby? The old fire tower and Khreptovichi Palace. The facade of the palace is decorated with knightly coats of arms, and a portrait of Mona Lisa flaunts on the fire tower. Do you think I'm kidding? Nothing like this. Come to Grodno and see for yourself how many comedians there are among Belarusian restorers. I won't spoil the surprise for you. Trust me, it's pretty funny.

Kolozha church

You will have to walk a little to it (from the Great Choral Synagogue, it is about a kilometer to walk). Pass through the park and see a small church made of rough stone.

This (if anything) is one of the oldest churches in Belarus (12th century). By the way, from its walls there is also a cool view of the Neman River. I think this is a great place to end our story. Next - a few organizational moments. But for now, just enjoy the silence.

Can you smell the grass and the gust of wind?..

How to organize a trip to Grodno?

In principle, you can ride to Grodno from Minsk in one day. However, in my opinion, it is best to choose this city as a destination for the weekend. I wrote in great detail about how to get to Grodno from Minsk. So today I will not repeat myself. And instead I will focus on issues related to finding housing (this is Belarus, baby, there are some nuances here).

Firstly, it is worth noting that there are very few good hotels in Grodno. They are either too expensive, like the Semashko Hotel, or very Soviet, like the Neman Hotel. Look full list Grodno hotels can be found here on this site. Start with it. You may still be able to find a suitable option for yourself. And I'll go further.

Project partner

Grodno is the most tourist town Belarus. Literally every day here you can meet guests not only from all regions of the country, familiar neighbors from Lithuania and Poland, but also travelers from Western Europe, Asia and America. What attracts them all in the ancient city on the high bank of the Neman?

TUT.BY found five reasons why everyone should visit Grodno.

Reason one. Old city

Grodno is the only city in Belarus where the historical center has been preserved as an integral complex, despite wars, Soviet and post-Soviet destruction. Wherein Old city It is arranged very conveniently for tourists - those who arrived by train, like a hundred years ago, can walk along the two central streets directly to the castles and the Neman.

Along the way, you can walk along a cobbled street in the late 1930s. If on Ozheshko there are only fragments of “brukavanka”, then Sovetskaya Street is completely in stone. Also, it is completely pedestrian. all year round and not just on weekends.


Pedestrian street Sovetskaya (once Dominican) comes to life in spring. Street musicians appear here, festivals, concerts and fairs are held. Photo: Vitaliy Derneiko, TUT.BY

In the center of Grodno, several eras mixed up at once. On the way you can meet very small houses, and entire palaces. late XVIII centuries, built by the headman Anthony Tyzengauz, a close friend of the last king of the Commonwealth, the ordinary buildings of the 19th century, the modern of the 1910s, the most interesting Polish interwar constructivism and the Soviet department store and House of Life, ridiculous in the historical center.

The leader of the 1863 uprising, Konstantin Kalinovsky, the writer Eliza Ozheshko, the young Lev Bakst, who became a world-famous artist in Paris, the creator of Esperanto Ludwig Zamenhof, the “father” of the literary Lithuanian language, and many, many others lived here. True, Grodno is not very good with commemorative plaques: without a good guide, you will only learn about where Dzerzhinsky spent the night and that Stolypin worked here for two years. For some reason, there is very little information about really important personalities for the city.

In the Middle Ages, the Germans called Grodno in their own way - Garten, that is, the garden. Today's Grodno residents complain that the city is rapidly losing its green appearance, but in the very center there is a long-time favorite resting place for citizens - a park that a hundred years ago was called the Swiss Valley and which now bears the name of its founder Jean Gilibert. In the 18th century there was a real Botanical Garden, which today caring citizens want to restore.

The second reason. Royal castles

No other city in Belarus has two royal castles at once. Especially preserved in a relatively good condition, and not in the form of ruins. True, both castles were heavily rebuilt: the kings of Poland and the Grand Dukes of Lithuania saw them as completely different.


Back in the spring, almost all the plaster was removed from the entrance gate of the Old Castle in order to examine the condition of the masonry. Now everyone can see the layers of different eras: from the times of Vytautas to the USSR. Photo: Alexey Shota, TUT.BY

The old castle has lost all external decor - now the project is being developed when King Stefan Batory built a beautiful Renaissance residence here. Only the entrance gate remained original from the New Castle. During last war buildings were bombed, and then rebuilt on old foundations with some changes: a colonnade was added to best traditions Soviet gigantomania, a coat of arms with a hammer and sickle and a red star on the spire. They say that they wanted to remove the star in the 90s, but did not have time - the attitude of the authorities towards communist symbols has changed again.

Until now, on some bricks of the XII century, similar to runes. The most popular version says that these are brand marks of brick manufacturers.


A stone dedicated to the memory of David Gorodensky. Photo: Inna Severin, TUT.BY

Since the beginning of the 90s, a modest commemorative sign"Pahonia on Grunwald". According to legend, it was from this place that the banners of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania went with Prince Vitovt to the Battle of Grunwald. A little further - another place covered with legends. A huge boulder is dedicated to the memory of David Gorodensky, a castellan of the Grodno castle, who was a formidable enemy of the Teutonic Order. According to one of them, invented by the authoritative historian Mikhas Tkachev 25 years ago, David was buried right here. The story turned out to be tenacious, and today you can even hear it from some serious guides.

The largest temple in Grodno is the majestic Catholic Cathedral of St. Francis Xavier, built near the old Market Square, and today Soviet Square. At the entrance, believers are greeted by a statue of Christ - a copy of the famous statue from the church on the Krakow suburb in Warsaw. They say that the Grodno Christ used to point his finger in the other direction, but he was eventually turned around, as it turned out that he was pointing the way to ... prison.

Yes, in Grodno the prison is located in the very center of the city, in a former Jesuit monastery, literally behind the wall of the church. The question of moving it somewhere outside the city is not even raised - it's too expensive. In the temple itself, it is worth seeing a huge three-story all-wooden central altar, the miraculous icon of the Student Mother of God in the altar on the right, and also climbing the choirs to see and hear better.

In addition to today's prison, the Jesuits left in Grodno the first city pharmacy - the oldest operating one in Belarus. Today, they not only sell medicines there, but there is also a small but worthy attention.

Grodno also has prayer houses unique for modern Belarus: a Lutheran church and a Jewish synagogue. Both confessions are absolutely traditional for the city. Kirkha has recently been completely restored. Now there are not only divine services, but also regular organ concerts of visiting musicians. The synagogue is also actively undergoing renovations, and in addition to the beautiful prayer hall, you can also see a small museum.


June 2015, the final touch of the restoration of the church - the dismantling of the old and the installation of a new spire. Photo: Vitaliy Derneiko, TUT.BY

Reason four. Unique museums

Grodno is called a city-museum. This statement is controversial, but it is more difficult to argue with the fact that this is a city of museums. Most tourists know only about the historical and archaeological museum in the castles. But there are no less interesting places.


Exhibition at the Museum of the History of Religion. Photo: Alexey Shota, TUT.BY

Next to the castles is the Museum of the History of Religion - the only one in Belarus. There is not only a rich permanent exhibition, but also regular exhibitions of interesting collections from other museums of the republic and neighboring countries.

Nearby is a fire tower - it was built a hundred years ago to quickly notice and eliminate fires. Today here is the active part and. True, as in all departmental museums, it is not so easy to get here - you need to call up and agree in advance. If you are lucky, you will be able to boast that you have been where many native Grodno residents have not reached.


Exposition at the Museum of Prison Life. Photo: Leonid Shcheglov, BELTA

There are enough departmental museums in Grodno. There is, for example, the Traffic Police Museum or. To visit the latter, you need to obtain permission from the Department of Corrections, but it's worth it - the exposition is really unique.


Opposite the Farny Church, in the so-called "Batory" (which actually has nothing to do with King Batory), the Grodno Kunstkamera operates - a museum of anomalies in the development of the human body. The exhibition there is really not for the faint of heart.

It is also worth visiting the first private museum in the city of Janusz Parulis, a collector. At first glance, it may seem that this is just an old house full of rubbish, but the owner, a hereditary Grodno resident, can talk for a long time about each of the hundreds of exhibits.


Sometimes Pan Janusz arranges meetings in his yard where you can learn, for example, about

Cause fifth. Augustow Canal

The main tourist attraction in the vicinity of Grodno is the Augustow Canal. Built in 1820−30s. as a response to the repressive customs rates of Prussia, it was supposed to connect the Vistula and the Neman and allow goods to be transported to ports in the Baltic, bypassing Gdansk, Elbleng and other, at that time German, cities. True, it was never used for its intended purpose. But already at the beginning of the 20th century, the tourist potential was noticed in the canal. True, world wars, and then decades Soviet power turned the pearl of engineering into ruins.

Ten years ago, all the locks on the Belarusian side of the canal were restored, and today kayakers can swim from the Polish Augustow to Grodno on the water and even walk passport control, literally. And next season, perhaps, someone will be able to continue along the Neman and further to Druskininkai. A checkpoint has already been set up on the Belarusian-Lithuanian border on the Neman.


During the summer, various events take place on the canal. This year, for the first time,
Manor in Radziwillki. Photo: Alexey Shota, TUT.BY

A steamer sails along the canal, there are gazebos on the shore, and a couple of places to stay in the vicinity. Worth a visit, created in the village of Nemnovo by the heirs of the pre-war rangers. In Radziwillki you can see how a local entrepreneur, and in Svyatsk - as with the same task for some reason. The palace in Svyatsk, despite its sad state, attracts many weddings from Grodno every weekend - both the building itself and the park nearby are very beautiful. And in the vicinity of the canal there is a picturesque place Sopotskin - a small piece of Poland, where very patriotic and religious people live, speaking the wonderful Polish-Belarusian-Russian Trasyanka.

Tourists

There are enough hotels in Grodno (there are even luxury ones) and good apartments for rent; a small and cheap hostel operates in the very center. You can figure it out "offers you comfortable conditions for recreation, as well as fishing, hunting, horseback riding. Come and get a huge boost of positive energy!

Judging by the vacancies, the most paid profession in the Grodno region is "trade representative", correspondents of interfax.by found out. Companies are willing to pay a good specialist from $500 to $1,200. However, not all employers require work experience or higher education. The main qualities are the ability to negotiate, extreme perseverance, communication skills, and activity. You will have to travel a lot in a private car, but this is not a problem, because the company pays for the fuel. In principle, specialties in the trade sector in Grodno and the region are popular. In Grodno itself, there is a special need for medical representatives. They are required to have an appropriate education, in return they are offered an interesting job and decent pay (the amount is not indicated). Against the general background of vacancies, the "croupier" looks the most exotic in Grodno. True, this job will not suit you if you are not a girl of 19-25 years old. Another basic requirement is knowledge of the multiplication table. According to Belstat, the average salary in Belarus in September amounted to Br1 million 305 thousand. At the same time, in the Grodno region it is slightly lower - Br1 million 204 thousand. There are quite a few places in the national bank of vacancies where they offer to earn more. Salaries from Br1.3 million to Br1.4 million. Workers and military specialists are invited to it. In particular, in military unit 51171, the commander of the storage department, the mentor of the repair company and the mentor of the engineering company are invited to such a salary. All posts are captains. In addition, it is required to match the civilian specialty with the military registration one. And military unit 16377 invites (for the same money) the head of the calculation of the combat vehicle. The ZhBK plant JSC Grodnopromstroy promises to pay Br1.3 million to an electric welder, PCHUP "Tsvetlit" of the Belarusian Society of the Deaf - to a foundry worker and a milling machine operator, OOO "Proremstroy" to a concrete worker, IOOO "Belgro" to a machine operator. And the farm "Gozha" of the Grodno region promises so much to the milker. And we are talking about flexible working hours. It is only unclear who will adapt to whom: cows according to the milker's schedule or vice versa. Wages range from Br1.4 million to Br1.5 million. All specialists with higher education are required here. The same military unit 51171 invites the chief of staff in the rank of major and promises a salary of Br1.4 million, Grodnopromstroy OJSC is ready to pay the mining foreman that much, Molochny Mir OJSC - an ecologist, Makemarketsystem LLC - a technologist (with 5 years of experience in the garment industry). RUSP "Experimental base "Oktyabr" is hiring a chief veterinarian and a chief livestock specialist. Each of them is promised a salary of Br1 million 439 thousand The head of the department (a psychiatrist-narcologist of the 1st or highest category is required.) Moreover, it is indicated that the head of the department expects harmful working conditions. Wages Br1.5 million. Many enterprises are ready to pay one and a half million to their employees. At least they promise to do so. And we are talking about both working specialties and leadership positions. The bank of vacancies currently has 70 professions and 200 jobs with such a salary. A lot of people are recruited by Profskal LLC for such a salary. These are roofers, tilers-cladders and even 5 industrial climbers. It is true that on the Internet you can stumble upon only one mention of this company. It is posted on the website of the Grodno City Executive Committee and is called "Information on accidents for January - September 2010". "Profskal" appears there: in May of this year, the company's installer fell off the scaffolding and fell from a height of 4.1 meters. Crashed to death. The column "Cause of the incident" indicates that the installer performed work without a work permit. Moreover, targeted briefing on safe methods of scaffolding installation was not carried out, the employee was allowed to perform work without a medical examination and testing knowledge on labor protection issues. Finally, it is indicated that there has been a "violation of the regime of work and rest of workers employed in the performance of work under the influence of hazardous production factors, expressed in the actual length of the working day for more than 11 hours." After that, you understand that Br1.5 million is not so much. Other organizations invite engineers, carpenters, fitters, masons for such a salary (30 workers with such a profession are required by Belstroyholding LLC).
