A wonderful historical and memorable place. The degree of preservation of the fortress is depressing. But considering the age and lack of care, the masonry walls have been preserved very well. Very good impressions about the quality of the masonry when examining the interior. Arched rooms, a spacious "front" staircase to the second floor and a spiral staircase to the roof, an abundance of loopholes with an all-round view. In the masonry of the walls, I happened to find bricks dated 1840 and 1844 in very good condition.

Friends, this is a truly historic place, iconic and mysterious.
The history of its creation can be found online. The fortress was built in 1810, and it played an important role in the war against Napoleon. It is still rumored that it was here in Berezina near the fortress that Napoleon's treasures sank, which he took out of Moscow. It is possible, but not a fact, since according to other sources Napoleon fled through Borisov. But there are definitely treasures there, a treasure has already been found once, and according to the documents it is still hidden.
In pre-war times, the fortress served as a political prison, there was a built-in punishment cell - an egg-shaped room where the prisoner could neither get up nor lie down normally, but was in a state of the letter "zy", which drove him crazy and broke him for life. During the Second World War, the fortress turned into a concentration camp, where 40 thousand of our Soviet prisoners of war were killed.
The story is amazing.
As well as the current abandoned state of the fortress is striking. Trees are visible inside the building. It turns out how much time it costs in such a poor way.
Nowadays, the fortress attracts not only tourists, but also filmmakers.
Various films were shot here, including one of my favorite Farsi language. The film is about willpower, about the thirst for life and the ingenuity that a prisoner had to apply in a concentration camp in order to survive. And so, for the filming of this film in 2020, decorations were built on the territory of the fortress: one-story brick buildings, gates, observation towers. Since then, all these fake buildings complement the legendary fortress. You will also see them in the photo.
They say that there are large passages and corridors under the fortress. Perhaps they connect nearby fortress buildings.
In general, there is something to see, something to read, something to admire and something to grieve about. If you are in these parts, be sure to stop by there.

The best fortress we have seen in Belarus. The rest are renovated, combed, crammed with trade, museum exhibits and other means of organizing jobs and earning money. This one is separate. When we went to see her, we thought she must be somewhere in the city center. But 500 meters from the fortress, there were still private, unsightly houses among the suburban industrial zone. As a result, the fortress turned out to be a huge abandoned building! Not only can it be explored all by itself, but there are also a lot of abandoned younger buildings nearby. As a result, a huge abandoned territory is completely deserted. Young people probably go on dates there, smoke schmalz at night, and all that sort of stuff. The atmosphere is amazing. I recommend you to visit. In general, it would be great if some historical sites were left as they are. So maybe they would have lived less, but the feelings from them are an order of magnitude greater.
