Discover Ždanovičy

Ždanovičy combines a recreation area shaped by hills, pine forest and reservoirs with a church building and a museum. When looking for a hotel in Ždanovičy, these different points of interest can help you find your bearings: landscapes, architecture and religious life offer different highlights from a museum location. The following features can help you assess the area according to your own interests.

Forest, reservoirs and recreation

The Ždanovičy recreation area is characterised by hilly terrain, a large pine forest and three interconnected reservoirs. They are called Krynica, Drozdy and the Zaslavl Reservoir; the latter is also known as the Minsk Sea. The Krynica Sanatorium has a fine-sand beach on the shore of the Krynica Reservoir. Belorusochka Sanatorium offers, among other things, a swimming pool, a bathing area, sports facilities, a café, a car park and an excursion office. The reservoirs and forest describe the landscape; the beach and facilities, by contrast, belong to specific named sanatoriums.

Church of the Ascension and parish

The Church of the Ascension in Ždanovičy is 38 metres high and has a tent roof, nine domes and crosses. Its height, roof shape and domes offer different points of reference for viewing the building: the 38 metres indicate its dimensions, while the roof and domes describe its structure. The parish was founded in 1996. The year of its founding places its history in time; liturgies and Sunday school offer a different glimpse of parish life. Divine Liturgies are held in the parish on Sundays, holidays and feast days commemorating great saints. There is also a Sunday school for children and adults. The liturgical schedule thus includes not only Sundays, but also holidays and feast days commemorating great saints. If the schedule matters for your plans, check it locally.

The Vasil Bykaŭ Dacha Museum

The Vasil Bykaŭ Dacha Museum is open and located at 62, 6th Dachnaya Street, in Ždanovičy. As a separate museum site, it adds another cultural point of interest to the religious and architectural features. The specific address helps you locate the museum as a separate destination in your travel plans.
