The Butrimovich Palace, built in 1794 on Pinsk's main street, deserves special attention. This is a transitional type of architecture, from Baroque to classicism, with the improvisation of canonical forms in individual fragments and details. What remains of the Baroque in the architecture of the palace is the construction of a plan with concave curved outlines of the corner parts, the oval shape of the main hall, and the traditional division of the facade into two tiers, contrasting in their decorative treatment. The interpretation of the order is extraordinary. Thus, the end facades are decorated with four Doric order columns grouped in pairs, with each pair shifted to the middle. As a result, the corner parts of the entablature do not rest on the columns, but protrude. The palace is symmetrical. Its three buildings form the main courtyard, which is open towards the Pina. This combination of buildings led to a more complicated layout of the building in the corners and increased the plasticity of the main facade. The middle building is reserved for formal rooms, the side buildings are occupied by living rooms and offices. The central place is occupied by an oval hall, pushed forward and opened onto the terrace. This fragment of the facade in the form of a kind of bay window is most richly decorated. On the river side, the building is represented by a small front courtyard; the facade has a more intimate character. The interiors of the palace are generally Baroque in nature, but there are also elements of classical architecture. The building houses the Palace of Pioneers and Schoolchildren

A beautiful historical well-maintained building and the area around it. There is a very cozy and beautiful pedestrian street nearby, with good establishments (coffee shops, cafes, pub). Beautiful Embankment!
