called versailles, belarusian versailles. at the end of the 14th century, a lion walked along its corridors, where, according to legend, the treasury of the entire country was kept. he also created one of the best legal codes in europe. his efforts are also credited with preparing the false dmitry for the campaign against moscow. chancellor levsapega, a modest, ascetic personality, a typical military leader, did not go on a drinking spree and did not give magnificent points. his castle was at least the central residence. but it was more of a fortress than a palace. ruzhany palace is located on a hill, so you will always notice it, no matter what the parties would not approach him. please note that the top of the gate is decorated with a sculpture of a stranger. who she is is still unknown. locally she is called the patroness of small towns. in the past, she pointed to the birch tree, to where she rested in the carthusian cloister founded by the sopegs. 15 representatives of the family,

but let’s not be sad, let’s go back to those times when the sapiehas were healthy, famous and authoritative, and so, under them the place flourished, here the ambassadors of the kings of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth were received with grandiose luxury, among whom were the last the monarch of the common state of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth, stanislav august ponitowski, and wladyslaw iv. vase. rumor has it that during the latter’s visit the entire population of ruzhany was evicted, all just in order... to place the servants of the venerable man in their houses. behind the walls of which these ruins remain, issues of national importance were decided. well, yes, ruzhany castle was in no way inferior to the palaces of the kings of the grand duchy of lithuania. some historians confirm that the ruzhany palace more than once made plans to seize power in moscow, because it was vague for for a time, the russian chancellor of the grand duchy of lithuania supported dmitry, who later called himself the russian tsar. and in addition to the theater of military operations, according to

the precise, although not always successful, direction of sapieha, the activity of the courtier theater flourished in the palace a little later. he was here, in the right wing, accompanying, among other things, visits of high-ranking guests, and was considered the best in europe. and at the productions, by the way, his majesty the king of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth, stanislov, august, ponitovsky was noticed more than once. in the temple of ruzhany melpomene three times. play the scenery was completely updated, all thanks to seven backstage plans. the spectator hall consisted of two tiers. the first one has 14 separate lies, the second one has one more. magdalena ogneshka, the wife of alexander sapega, passionately loved the idle life. balls, performances, theater, her husband in love could not refuse her modest desire to have a small court corpse in the castle. 60 actors and 40 musicians played in it, by the way,

the current national academic theater of belarus still cannot afford such a number, oh, these women, if in one part of the military corps was a theater with performances in french, italian and polish, the second was set aside for a manesh on which stately arabian horses rode highlanders, and this was the work of the descendant of lvasapega alexander, under his own leadership in the second half of the 16th century. an art gallery is being built in the symmetrical theater building; there is an opinion that the work has not been completed, only the foundation has been laid. in contrast to the huge library that was built, built according to all the canons of that time, it was finally completed. the real pride of the residence. inside is a collection of rare and expensive books, which lev sapega began collecting. 3.00 copies of books and approximately 1.00 manuscripts.

among them are lifetime editions of walter, homer and even sophocles. this sounds incredible, but the most influential and rich man, after the king, of course, apparently could afford it and, most importantly, liked it. only now the time was harsh, it made its own adjustments to the life of the family of tycoons. for the fact that the sapiehas took part in the uprising against the russian authorities, their possessions confiscated and put up for auction. on which the palace was bought by a jewish family of factory owners. ironically, for the next 100 years the monumental palace became a cloth factory. but at the moment there are only ruins of its former greatness. i, like most tourists, probably wouldn’t mind getting closer to them, but it’s not safe, even though there’s a special sign installed. despite the destruction, beautiful vaults of entrance doors, columns can still be seen here and there, and you can even find them. ornaments, on

the window openings one can see the notorious stucco molding, laurel wreaths. the laurel in his architecture, as a symbol of honor to military valor and glory, was often used by the court architect sapek. jan samuel becker. they say that the locals had an amazing belief. if you throw stones at this stucco molding, then golden coins of sapek will fall out of it, like from a cornucopia. the force of gravity turned out to be powerless in this case. the coins never fell on top of anyone’s head. and the locals really did a good job on the remnants of its former greatness. we dismantled the castle walls brick by brick for building materials. perhaps someone of them...

and the agul rechy paspolitai for tago, to spare some conflicts, wars. and to find out in more detail what the residence was like under the diplomat sapega, we head to the museum. after restoration in 2008, it was opened together with the entrance gate, side wings and wrought-iron gates. here, in all its glory, is the history of the early castle and late palace. the museum displays a model that clearly demonstrates what it should have been like, according to 18th century drawings. pershapatchatkov castles, as if they were famous by lev sapegai a packet of 17 hundred years, at the very beginning, the meat, it would be, of course, in a smaller manner, it would be varnished in this month, this significant galoin body of our palace and there were

zamak. bachytse, he is crooked in terms of. that's it, and it's like a lock, and it's like all locks, it has three locks. which were valued at the time of the perabudovs in the other half of the 18th century, the last year, the jar was packed, not destroyed, not destroyed, and the jar was packed at the end of the day, and just pa tanks, on which there were simple laid out masonry, scenes, and such chynam itself hummed, becoming symmetrical in plan, and behind this scene are copies of the drawings of the same man, jan samuel becker. the original works, sectional plans of the building, the menagerie and the park and palace complex are kept in the warsaw people's library. in general, the interior of the room is made in the style of the 16th century, but here you can look into several centuries at the same time. during the excavation process, archaeologists found

floor foundations under the existing building of the western wing that date back to the 16th century older than the outbuildings themselves. there is a unique exhibit in this same room, for sure. a copy of the slab built in honor of the arrival of king vladislav iv. at one time, he granted the magdaburg law to the town, and a copy of the charter is attached. it is in this castle that the muse of inspiration will visit sapega. he will become the author of a unique set of laws of the grand duchy of lithuania statute of 1588 . the document is kept in the next room. here are a couple more of the most valuable exhibits. 16th century seal with the lis family coat of arms. wooden armorial cartouche from the late 16th century. grandfather clock original candlesticks, donated to the troitsk church by the owners of the town. at one time, among other things, the castle was famous for its deep cellars, which housed an impressive arsenal of weapons. important state documents and even the treasury of the grand duchy. according to

historical data, the basements went as deep as four floors. it is not surprising that they have become a kind of safe for state property. this once again confirms, saipegi - your view has hidden the first level of our sklyapennya, and if you look like a little bit, then there is a brighter roof of another world, sklyapennya sochytstsa from another world, there are traci ўzroven, and the tsalkas are littered with earth, friends, smetz, tseglay, and there, as if access and yago are important, well, there is no access to hidden areas, they are separated, bachytse.

hiding, who knows, perhaps soon we will learn something new, including about a legend that says that there is a special underground entrance leading from this palace in kosovsk. in this case, we are not even talking about an underground passage, but an entire underground road that supposedly connected the castle in ruzhany with kosovsky. according to legend, this passage was 25 km long; carriages drawn by six horses could pass each other there. our film crew found out that local residents don’t really believe this, because identical stories are circulating about many castles, but they cannot be confirmed. it is not yet possible to refute them; all that remains is to believe and search. what,

in fact, did the strangers do in the late eighties of the last century in this area were rewarded for their perseverance. a real treasure was found in the left wing of the entrance gate. of course today no one has heard anything about his further fate, but they say that the sum was tidy, about 30 million dollars. and suddenly an obsessive desire arose to work at excavations with local archaeologists, or to settle nearby, nothing personal, in any case, there was a reason to return here. since 2011, fans of bylov have had this opportunity, all those who would like to get to know the past of the residence better and attend excursions and see historical reconstructions. it will soon be 6 years since it has been held here. holiday ruzhanskaya brama,

information is a weapon, propaganda is a weapon, they made a fuss about our teachings in order to create an information fund around the deployment of german troops, they are marching as occupiers to lithuania, this will be the most combat-ready unit of the bundesweir. so that there is no war now, it is to be strong, these are the rules of the game now in europe, when

politicians, i emphasize once again, go against the interests of their citizens, against the interests of their national ones, today we are saving europe from a big war, with our competent, independent policy. the project is objective, not miss new episodes on the belarus 24 tv channel. children's curiosity and genuine interest. absolute honesty and sincere emotions of the characters. hello everyone, in exactly a minute a hero will come to us who will answer everything. are you ready to meet our hero? why do you think the children chose you to talk to? i hope i can answer their questions. a talk show in which famous people answer tricky questions from the younger generation. how are you different at work from yourself at home? it seems to me exceptional. i don't change my appearance from some grymza to a cute cat, no,

i’m either a grymza everywhere or a kitty everywhere. how do you feel when people feel sorry for you? extremely categorically negative, pity is not the same as sympathizing, pity is an arrogant feeling, a feeling of superiority, see the project 100 questions for an adult. on tv channel belarus 24. if you head north from the palace complex and walk for a long time, you can come to the place of eternal rest, an ancient cemetery. in 1655 casimir, the heavenly patron of the grand duchy of lithuania, protector of ruzhany. in those

times, the remains of the catholic saint initially did not end up in this chapel, but in the one that was located in the main building of the ruzhany castle. according to legend, it was saint casimir who defended and protected the country from enemy attacks. at his grave, parishioners claim, healing and miracles occurred, which is why he was canonized. the people of ruzhany loved st. so much and... his bell is considered one of the highest points in the urban village. our film crew is heading to one of the most ancient and majestic temples in belarus. 20 minutes walk and we are there. the uniqueness of the temple is that it was never closed, even in soviet times, like

other churches in belarus, it was not turned into a storage facility, a cultural center, or a theater. and here, unlike other parishes, there was always a priest. at one time , chancellor levsapega allocated money for construction. the church was built on the territory of his family residence. initially, the temple was entirely wooden, but already in 1615 a stone structure in the early boroka style appeared in its place. later the church was reconstructed, and more than once. behind the goldsmith, already known to us, jan samuel becker, took over the job. he became an author. new project of the temple, they asked it to be ennobled and rebuilt a little, and this is how this bell tower appeared here. and here is the main christian symbol, the very crucifix, which, according to historians, has survived; they say it remains from the ancient temple that sapieha himself once built. can you imagine how ancient this is?

architectural plasticity, sculpture and painting, the decoration of the troitsky church is amazing to this day. please note that this is the very first entrance door to the temple, by the way, it is wooden, now it is modestly nestled in a corner of the church, but before thousands of believers passed through it. the marble altar is unique, decorated with ornaments, sculptures of angels and the family coat of arms of the magnates.

he died, died from illness, as they said in those days, from dryness. you will probably already see palaces and castles everywhere, or is it still not a dream? it seems to me alone that the building of the confectionery shop next to the church looks very much like a miniature palace. opposite the trinity church it rises. no, not just another palace, but the peter and paul church, absolutely atypical for the russian orthodox tradition, and next to it is the former basilian monastery, a building from the 1770s. advice, you should definitely check out the temple. on the ceiling of the main hall there is a huge panel of transformation. here in the 18th century paintings with realistic non-canonical depictions

of the saints of jesus christ. these unusual paintings are the result of the uniad origin of the temple, like these. round icons, the likes of which you can hardly find in orthodox churches anywhere else, this is the very icon of the mother of god revered in the town adigetria of ruzhanskaya, she has gold crosses on her ring, a kind of gratitude from the parishioners. it is believed that in 1895 she saved the church from a severe fire. many buildings were damaged, a huge number of casualties, but the temple remained intact and unharmed. despite the fire, the events of the 20th century, when the church housed a hospital, a prison, and later a tourist base, now the appearance of the building practically corresponds to becker’s idea. yes, yes, the saxon had a hand in this shrine. it seems to me that it is rightfully possible call ruzhan the chief architect. and miracles

took place here in the literal sense of the word. several years ago, when... the fence was being rebuilt, parishioners discovered an unusual stone weighing about 25 kg and the size of two footballs, lying like a simple cobblestone along with other stones. later it turned out that the pebble was not simple, but of course not gold, a real meteorite, in words, there was no professional examination. and here is the paradox, the village. on everyone's lips, precisely thanks to the majestic residence sopek, they pay much less attention to the place itself, and it’s completely in vain, there are so many attractions here that there would be enough for two cities. and in general, ruzhans were lucky in this regard. agree, not all towns and villages are called something euphonious.

of course, over the centuries , many versions of its origin have accumulated, but the locals in their stories lean towards one. they say the prince had two daughters: rose and anna, and he loved them so deeply that he named his city in honor of both. rose, anna, rosanna, many like that called it for a long time. so it stuck. the name rozana is ancient, perhaps has turkic roots and is translated as light or bright day. this is what girls were called at one time, who were promised a good, happy life. according to the second version, the name has ancient greek roots, meaning it was given by god. or maybe everything is much simpler, and this is a derivative of the belarusian flower rouge, and therefore there is also an option to interpret the name as a beautiful flower. as ruzhana, the town has been known since 1552, first mentioned as a possession tyshkevich family. there were over

400 households, tile factories, a mazelian school, a uniate monastery, a church and a cathedral. in ruzhany they even created analogues of sludsk belts. by 1900 , more than 3,500 people lived in the city. at this time she was acting here. centuries, a whole jewish quarter was created here, a thousand people lived in it, it was for it that a large synagogue was built in the spirit of the late boroka and a small one, the large one, alas , is in a deplorable state, the nagogi were a little more fortunate, the building itself was not destroyed, but was adapted to the convoy's own needs. this is the territory of a local car depot, although tourists are not

allowed here, the abandoned building is surrounded by private houses by a fence, so if curiosity is off the charts, of course, you should go through it, but i wouldn’t risk it, the synagogue is in an abandoned state. it is no coincidence that they will leave the city, as we usually say, as famous people. as soon as we approached the next point on our route, the mass grave of soviet soldiers, it started to rain, they say, so often happens, you just have to approach the place

of memory, the chronicle of which is woven from sad events. the history of this mound dates back to the first war years; 127 soviet soldiers and commanders who died defending ruzhan are buried here. in october 1966, local residents reburied the remains of her husband. listed by name, the remaining 115 are recorded as unknown. a year later, in 1967 , a t-34 battle tank was installed at the foot of kurgan, which to this day never ceases to attract the attention of tourists passing by. but our film crew couldn't ignore the central soviet street. we finish our acquaintance with the city with a promenade along it. from a distance we notice some

action taking place right in the center of the village. so what's here? and these are wooden people, sculptures of historical figures, mainly, of course, sopek. a very important event is depicted here, namely the awarding of magdeburg law to ruzhany. and according to local woodworkers, this important historical moment looked exactly like this. by the way, very soon this important event will be celebrated. 400 years. we noticed that it is easy to navigate in ruzhany on your own, without a navigator map. here in front of us is a typical ruzhanskaya street, just like centuries ago, the center is dominated by stone, one-story old manor-type buildings. the only multi-story buildings in the city are several five-story buildings. military town, which is a kind of center of ruzhany, and in general they can tell you this about ruzhany, however, these stories are often on the verge of fantasy.

so, they say, somewhere in ruzhany they walk around and don’t know it, the illegitimate children of vladimir vysotsky. yes, the creators of santa barbara are resting. but i believe that the legend was born solely due to the fact that at one time in ruzhany, viktor arrov filmed the film “i come from childhood.” he invited the then popular vysotsky to play the main role. it seems that the history of legends in the urban village is much greater than... the population of a thousand, and these people are not said to be lucky, i really want not to run around all the sights in a few hours like a marathon runner, but to leisurely wander through them in order to surely go back to the era, name which versailles. and you know what i realized today, it doesn’t matter what kind of view you have from your window, the main thing is that versailles is in your soul. well, it's time to get ready. on
