A magnificent cathedral of a somewhat unusual appearance for Orthodoxy. It stands on a high hill, very elegant, beautiful and majestic, in the style of the Vilna (Uniansky) Baroque. Part of the building has been preserved since the 11th century, it is the oldest stone building in modern Belarus. The cathedral was Uniate for a long time, which resulted in the persecution of Uniate monks by Peter the Great in 1705 and the closure of the cathedral.

One of the most beautiful ancient cathedrals in the republic. The exterior offers wonderful views and other interesting places. The territory is cleaned, everything is neat. Partial repairs have been made and it is possible to assess what the building was like and what has now turned out. An active fountain is installed inside, where concerts are constantly held. There is also a small museum for a very nominal fee...

A whole hour of completely unknown works by completely unknown authors ...
As a result, the concert is very tedious, people began to leave 10 minutes after the start...
