Another agrogorodok (village) in Grodno oblast with a catholic church of Holy Apostles Peter and Paul (1854-1875) with a huge cross on the western facade.

A small rural cemetery with preserved Polish tombstones.

 

Here rests Franciszek Bohuszewicz, a poet, considered to be one of the founders of modern Belarusian literature. In fact he was not a Belarusian but a Pole, who nevertheless decided to promote the Belarusian language in order to prevent the locals from switching to Russian. One of the new Minsk metro stations is named after him.

Getting in (as of June 2022): take the E28 experssway from Minsk towards Vilnius, take a turn near Oshmany towards Smorgon.
