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.

Beautiful landscapes and iconic historical sites associated with the most important moments in history. It would be good if all this was put in order to the end and museum exhibits were made of abandoned buildings that you can be proud of and view these architectural monuments with pleasure and comfortably moving around the territory, as well as inside buildings without any fear. A must-visit!

It is very extensive - Okkerman built an entire military city (it is a pity that on the site of the ancient part of Bobruisk). You can walk here, or you can get around by car - there are parking lots everywhere. 80 percent of the fortress consists of the ruined remains of bastions, military warehouses, barracks... It is a pity that there is no single museum, it is a pity that in Soviet times the interior was used rudely and clumsily, destroying ancient traces of time. But it's still interesting, curious and impressive.
