What interesting for children in the Trinity suburb. Trinity suburb
The Troitsky suburb of Minsk is undoubtedly the most beautiful city district not only the capital, but also of Belarus. It is located on the left bank of the river Svisloch. The title of Trinity suburb went from once founded by the king Yagailo Trinity Church.
The development of Trinity suburb (Troitskaya Mountain) began in the XII century. Medieval Minsk has grown to the foreclosers. In Trinitsky, the suburb satisfied the public. In the XIV-XV centuries there was even an administrative center of the city. After receiving the Magdeburg law and the construction of the town hall, Trinity suburb lost the status of the main district of Minsk.
In the XVI-XVII centuries around the Trinity suburbs there were ground shafts and ripples, filled with water. The district acquired the status of an important defensive fortified place.
Until the XIX century, Trinity suburb was considered a suburb of Minsk, and there were wooden houses in it. In the XIX century, the suburb entered the city trait. The Troitsky market was considered his center, on the site of which the Opera House and Square is now built.
The current view of Trinity suburb acquired thanks to the strongest fire of 1809, when all wooden buildings burned down. The city holders decided to demolish the remains of the foundations and build new city blocks in accordance with the canons of classical development, when the streets had to intersect at right angle, forming rectangular quarters. At home was adjacent to each other close, forming a single facade. Unique flavor gave the Trinity, high tiled roofs of houses with attic and attic.
Now the Trinity suburb is reconstructed, repaired and landscaped. It looks attractive at any time of the year, at any time of the day and with any weather due to the famous tiled roofs, multi-colored facades and modern dynamic lights (changing colors, like dancing fountains).
Trinity suburb in Minsk has historical importance for the city, located on the left bank of the Svislechi. Previously, the administrative and shopping center of the capital was here.
Creation and development
The story of Troitsky suburb leaves rather deep into antiquity. It was formed in the 12-13 century on the elevation area next to the p. Svisloch. Historians believe that the name of this place is connected with the local Trinity Church. He was founded by Prince Yagailo.
According to another version, etymological roots stretch to the Reduto, named after the Holy Trinity, or the local Church of the same name. Previously, trade was actively carried out here, entrepreneurs came here from Vilna and Mogilev. Also visited Trinity suburb. Sellers from Smolensk and Polotsk.
In the 16th century, the market began to function, which is the largest area for trading. In the period of 15-17 centuries. Here were built fortress structures, with the help of which they managed to protect the surroundings. In the houses from the tree lived masters crafts, peasants, military personnel. In 1809, the layout has changed since the old model of the locality device has destroyed the fire. To protect yourself from such misfortunes in the future, residents of the city built buildings from stone by decree
In the period from the 30s to the 60s of the last century, various parts of the architectural complex were destroyed. In the 1980s, a major restoration was carried out here, the purpose of which was to recreate the architecture of Minsk inherent in the city in the 19th century.

In 2009, Square, in the past, the reserved for the market was called the Trinity Mountain. In the 1930s, the Opera and Ballet Theater was held here. Today, hitting the Trinity suburb, you can visit many interesting museums, shops with souvenirs and antiques, restaurant complexes and coffee shops, gallery with works of art.
Replacement work is not completed, the result of which will be the appearance closest to the one that this place had centuries ago. It is planned to re-create many buildings located in the upper city, as well as in the Minsk Torch.
Cognitive walk

Separate compliments deserves the beauty of the Svisloch River, where a small island is located, which can be reached by passing the arched type bridge for pedestrians. In 1996, he opened a memorial in honor of the internationalists who fought in Afghanistan.
The local island of tears is known as one of the most significant in the center is a chapel designed according to the Plan of the Temple of Polotsk Evphrosiny, which operated in the 12th century. Entering the island, you can see the stone, which placed the icon of the Virgin Mary from Bronze.

Here are three floors, the domestic halls are striking with their bright tones and excellent design. Many beautiful mirrors that expand the space visually.
Historic atmosphere
You will probably want to reinforce the forces after a long walk, during which you will explore the Trinity suburb. Cafes and restaurants are luxurious and existing in a great set. The aromatic drink can be pitched in a coffee shop. It is noteworthy that the administration of these institutions has made efforts in order to recreate the historical interior.
You will get in ancient Corchat, try excellent dishes of national cuisine, high-quality alcohol. But things are accurately not worth passing, so it is past the local restaurant located right on the water. He is one of its kind on the whole city. You can not only eat delicious, but also look at beautiful landscapes.
Path here and surroundings
It is not so difficult to get into the suburbs, since it is located in the center of the historic life of the city. The second subway line goes to this item. It is worth going out at the Nemiga Station.
Visitors amazing the beauty of these places. From the moment of receipt in the 1499th, the authorities have made great efforts to improve the local places and give the opportunity to heirs to be proud of them later.
Impressive stone town hall, which was recovered more than once. The modern version of it was discovered in 2003. You can go through exhibitions and halls that are intended for receptions to buy souvenirs. It pleases the beauty of the Philharmonic for children, a beautiful living room, the church of the Virgin Mary, historical museums, cathedrals. The center of spirituality and education in the Orthodox Church is functioning. There is an opportunity to look at the estate belonging to Vankovichi.
Time Machine
You can sit in the chic hotel "Monastic", which received four stars. It was opened in the former dwelling of the monks-Bernardians who worked in the 18th century. Museum exposures are able to give a lot of new knowledge and vivid impressions.
Do not go to Nemigi?
In almost all, even during the times of gloomy Middle Ages, Belarusian, and even more so Ukrainian, cities in historical centers there are a traditional set of a traditional set from some kind of castle, a market area with town hall, numerous temples and monasteries of barefoot brothers Bernardians or Jesuit, and several quarters of civilian building.
But Minsk is not lucky. Arriving during the time of the Tale of Bygone Years, who received Magdeburg law during the Commonwealth period, the city, which became the capital of modern Belarus, completely lost its original historical center. And the fault of this is not only urban decisions of the XIX century, dictated by the political decisions, or the destruction of the last war, and rather the city planning concept of the last decades of the twentieth century, which, guided by the slogan "we build our future!", Fully changed the picture of the urban landscape. As a result, we were probably the only capital of one of the fraternal republics as part of the USSR without any national flavor and associated with the national history of architecture, which is completely striking in the beautiful far from the Stalinist avenues, numerous sports facilities and public lawns of the era of the developed stagnation.
However, on this path of the Celebration of Belarusian urbanism there were both curious moments. Somehow, after the total sweep of Nemigi and the castle, where even the fragments of old trees were left from the castle, Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev arrived on the eve of the Olympiad-80 in Minsk. For some not clear reason, Leonid Ilyich repeatedly rose to go to see the old town (where is your old place here, as in Warsaw?), Which by that time practically did not exist. As a screwdriver, I do not know, but I decided to fix the mistake, not to show the next time the elderly demurbent demise. First of all, in the 80s, according to the project, almost all that could be demolished, but in Trinity, the suburb left one quarter of the ordinary building of the XIX century was based on the earliest foundations. Here is from it and made an exemplary old place ;-), which is now demonstrated to tourists and love Minsk.
A little later, and especially in the last decade, the focus was repeated with the upper city, where with the growth of national self-consciousness by building newwear and pulling out individual objects from later development, they tried to artificially at least some image of the historic center of the city, as well as modern Belarusian Architects. As far as it happened, let's see together with you.
Our journey to the fabric "Historic Minsk" began with parking search. I found it at a high-rise building from glass and concrete in which the Belarusian telecommunications company Velcom is located. Good start. Next, we rushed on foot along Zybitskaya Street towards the square of March 8 and the nameless bridge through the Svisloch.
I am a profuduclear street on Zybitskaya Street, so I use someone else's photo from wikimapia.org. I understood that it was located on the sides and for this small house number 3 on Zybitskaya street?
Passing 300 meters turn around. In the distance of the Velcom office, and on the right of the historic building of the Upper city with numerous bars, to the left behind the fence, the construction of a hotel and an entertainment center. According to unverified information, most of the "wooden" houses on the right hand newwalked. 
Building at the intersection of Zybitskaya and Herzen. Inside the bar, on the wall, a memorial plaque that tells about the fact that we are on the territory of the Upper City - the historic center of Minsk XVI-XIX centuries., Complex monument of archeology, urban planning, architecture, history, revolutionary and combat glory of the people. Located under the protection of the state.
Pay attention to how the facade is decorated, or rather the door and the porch. Entrance doors are, steps are marked, and the porch itself does not have the right. And then this element of the design of the facade is repeated twice. What did the architect wanted to say this? Restore historical facade design? But why then the only working entrance doors are made of glass, and not decorated in a single style? Why is the rhythm of the steps of the other and why this particular visor? 
View up the street of Herzen. Right complex "Monastic" in order of removal: archaeological museum, bar, restaurant, hotel. 
The building on the right will be seen the building of the male Bernardian monastery, and in the future, Herzen's street rests on the complex of the Basilian Monastery. It seems to me that the buildings of the whole quarter right belonged to the Bernardians brothers, but I am very confused by the heterogeneous and not neat, and there are simply modern masonry in the near buildings. Pay attention to how the pavement is made. Where is it without a favorite tile even on a historic street? But something similar to the cobblestone pavement passes narrow carlock along the walls. 
Quarter diagram on the wall of the Archaeological Museum. Pleases combinations of the Museum of Archeology, Karate Museum and Museum of Minsk Konka 
Let's go further along Szybitskaya Street to the next crossroads with Kirill Street and Methodius. On the left beauty salon, it is not clear to the right, but a little further looks out of the building of the Women's Bernardian monastery, and in front of it male. In the future - a seating courtyard. We will return a little later. 
Now let's go to the River Svisloch and rise to the Unnamed Bridge (1967). Interestingly, there are two streets of Nemiga and Maxim Bogdanovich on the bridge, but the bridge itself does not have the name. View from the bridge to the historic real estate built in the area of \u200b\u200bthe former market area (the market). 
Once on the site of the modern bridge, the most famous bridge of medieval Minsk - Hluusov, who connected the lower market with Troitsky suburb located on the right bank of the Svislodi. In the future, the building of the National Exhibition Center "BelExpo". In 2017, the demolition of this quarter began on the pomoy Berg of Svislodi to the Investor from the UAE. Promised to preserve four historical buildings miraculously preserved from the Trinity Monastery of Basilianok. 
On the other side of the bridge - the Trinity suburb, or rather, what remains from him 
Let's go down under the bridge and look at the Left Bank of the Svislechi and a high city, from where we just came. In the foreground of the building as if the XVIII century (?), The Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, the former christmas church of the Virgin Mary of the Bernardine Monastery, looks like. 
Trinity suburb of the bridge opens in all its glory. The ordinary bourgeois building of the end of the XIX century is stylized under medieval architecture as modern architects are present. Yes, it is not Lviv and not even Warsaw ... For the city with a richest history, of course, it looks dyed and slaughtered. But, for any Russian province, where there is no architecture besides Khrushchev, this is a good example, as you can make a conflex from a drumpet, especially if there is the will of the Secretary General. It is clear that the architects also worked here and adding about 2/3 of the frank Novodelov and Pops, but the basis of the preservation and reconstruction of the quarter was laid back in the 1980s. 
Review Back on On the Unnamed Bridge over Svisloch and Away City 
Go to the "medieval city" 
Note, here the bridge is mostly laid out by a paving 
Inside the quarter. All this Meshchansky Building is now not residential, but is a refuge of various catering establishments, hostels, art salons, museumors, shops, galleries and other 
House of nature. The building was built in 1874 as the "Chinese" synagogue for the Meshman Minsk. 
Thanks to the balustrade, the former synagogue is a favorite place for selfie from Belarusian girls 
After waging in a quarter, we still wake up from the winter hibernation, we are tired of his monotony and artificiality and went to the island of Tears. There will be a separate report. And on the way they came to the sculpture of the girl with the owl. Strange combination. It seems not Athena Pallada, but with the owl. 
Maybe this is some non-famous Belarusian national plot? 
Returning through the bridge to the upper city and its dominant - the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, the church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary of the Bernardine Monastery. The church laid in 1642, becoming the Orthodox Church retained the strict solemnity of the Catholic church. On the left in the contrast frame was filled with the amilateral new buildings of the Orthodox Spiritual Academy. Stylishly, you will not say anything. 
To understand how the lashaft changed this part of Minsk several photos.
1940s. Please note that the hill of the Upper City occurred in the relief there was a place to be, but now it is strongly smoothed.

View from the area on March 8 towards the castle - downstream Svisloch river. In the foreground, a squat, similar to a playpen, the building is the Republican Center for Physical Education and Sports. At one of his walls, a memorial plaque is placed that in this place in the XI century the city of Minsk emerged and the Minsk Tumbling was placed - a monument of archeology of the XI-XVI centuries. Protected by the state. As I said, this monument of archeology is most demolished in the construction of what we see in the photo, as well as during the construction of the Metro Station Nemiga, located just under these paths, which is in the frame. 
Let's go on the other side of Nemigov Street, we reach the intersection with Lenin Street and slightly walking along the area of \u200b\u200bfreedom and take a look at the city tower from the West. The Minsk Town Hall (1) was built at the end of the 18th century on the area of \u200b\u200bthe upper market and was destroyed in 1851 on the personal order of Emperor Nikolai I. In 2003, he was restored at his historical place and used as an exhibition hall. 
View of the town hall from the north, on the other hand. To the right in the frame was built by the complex of the hotel court of the XVIII-XIX century (7) with located inside the shops, restaurants, offices. 
Monument to obtaining Minsk Magdeburg law in 1499, installed before entering the Town Hall in 2014. 
The location scheme of the sights of the Upper City. Numbering for this scheme I will be given in parentheses when describing. 
We take a look at the other side of Lenin Street for the Jesuit Church of the Virgin Mary (1700-1710) built in the style of Vilensky Baroque (15). In 1951, the cathedral was closed, and the main facade is very rebuilt, the house of the physical consultancy is located inside. In 1993, the building returned to the Catholic Church, the initial appearance was restored. Now this is the main Catholic temple of Belarus. In the interior, the frescoes that were attached to Soviet times are particularly valuable, their disclosure and restoration are now. 
And now again they will deeper in the Quarters of the Upper City by passing along the edge of the former area of \u200b\u200bthe upper market. There is no time for the male and female uniate basilian monasteries formed a kind of defense node. The core of the male monastery was the Church of the Holy Spirit built on the site of the Orthodox wooden church around the 1650s.
In the photo on the left Church of the Holy Spirit, on the right, the living courtyard, in the future the building of the Belarusian State Academy of Music is seen. 
Basilian Monastery Plan. Reconstruction of L. Ivanova based on materials V.M. Denisova. At the top of the women's monastery, in the bottom - male with the Church of the Holy Spirit.
Monasteries represented a kind of fortress. The male corps with the church formed her southwestern side. Women's corps - northeast. Between them, they were joined the covered gallery with small windows-Boyheads, at the same time formerly in his lower tier invested brother. With the fourth side, there is nothing on the plan, but it is very likely that the initial monastery yard still closed the stone wall: it is mentioned in the documents of the XVII century ("... Stone and Fighting the Upper and Lower Fence" "). The pearl complex was a church - a single-headed temple without towers with a five-pointed apse, blocked by crusades based on massive internal counterphorts. Gothic refer to high fifteen windows, faceted form of apse, vaults, counterphorties. Renaissance is the main facade, the whole built on the combination of the Pilaster of the Corinthian order, and in the curly shield there is already a baroque influence.
SERMAND DRAWING OF THE MAIN FACADE, 1843.
The main feature of the Svyatokhov Church was the painting of flat niches on the facade of the frescoes depicting the saints. The structure of the placement of niche and the order of their fresco filling corresponded to the Orthodox iconostasis. Art historians joyfully rubbing hands - it is almost never found in the cultic architecture of Europe: to the iconostasis and immediately on the facade.
The main facade of the Minsk Church of St. Duha. Reconstruction of Sergey Bangsov. It is very curious to compare its difference from the same measurement drawing of 1843 (see above).
In the XIX century The church was selected from the community, "donated" is Orthodox and rebuilt in the pseudorous style. In 1950, demolished. In 2011, the Church of the Holy Spirit is recreated from scratch. The basis of the recreation officially served a measurement drawing of 1843. At the moment, the building is used as a children's philharmonic.

Opposite the strongly rebuilt cases of the Basilians Monastery, the sculpture of the "crew" is located, the prototype of which served as the Katalet of the governor. The joke is that, as Dmitry Shelekhov writes to me, this "carriage" is a copy of Tobolskaya and Kursk. Is there also a prototype of the governor carriers?

And this is a Kursk carriage. Still, they say there is a similar one in Dolgoprudna. Photo from twarrow expanses. 
Unfortunately, I did not pass to the Basilian Monastery Corps and you have to use someone else's photo.
This housing was very good, not in our opinion, was restored. Wooden windows, natural tile, baroque curly shield restored as in his best times, no on bulbs - why always don't do it? Inside, I, though, was not.
But back to the area of \u200b\u200bthe upper market. Modern view of the monastery of Bernardians and the Church of St. Joseph. The church was built in 1652, repeatedly rebuilt. In 1752 he received a decor in the style of late Baroque. In 1860, the monastery was abolished, the buildings were confiscated. The last time the church building was restored in 1983, currently in it and the adjoining hulls of the monastery are placed archives.
It's time to return to the car. Now we will sell a little different way on a musical alley. The building at number 1 is often found on tourist photos. The left is the street of Herzen, which we observed at the very beginning of the report. 
Go down on the musical lane and turn back to a new office building and a quarter with the former Embassy of the Czech Republic 
That's all.
SUMMARY: As we see, Minsk one of those cities of the former Great Principality of Lithuanian and Commonwealth, which almost completely lost its historical appearance. However, by the strange foe, the leadership of the USSR tried to recreate local restorers in the measure of their corruption. And nothing, moreover, this recreation could serve as an example for a number of Russian cities, completely, due to a number of reasons that have lost their heritage, but on the example of Minsk there was a strange substitution of concepts in Belarusian restoration. This very controversial and partly, the curious experience "from hopelessness" in the desire to imitate civilized Europe was taken to the chapter of the presentation of the present. Now, every collective farm Belarusian builder misses herself with an architect, and then the restorer, reproving the company's unique Minsk experience, trying to build out our future doubtful versatiles under the old days, while having demolished to the other hand to the right and left the remnants of the genuine national heritage.
What is this here? The original heritage looks not presented and it is not clear, whether the business is freshly orateful multicolored houses under ondulin with fireplace pipes.
For this case, however, by the way, the quotation of the lotman is relevant - restoration is a legal form of the destruction of heritage.
Materials used:
Probably in Minsk it is difficult to find a place that would be more famous for tourists than the Trinity suburb. This is a city business card, the image of which can be found both on postcards, brands, souvenirs and on some banknotes.

Historians believe that the Troitsky District area has been populated in the XII-XIII century., And numerous mention of this territory in written sources of the XVI-XVII centuries allows you to judge the presence of a city center center in the XIV-XV centuries. The area was built up with wooden houses in which artisans, merchants, peasants and military lived.
In 1809, a terrible fire destroyed all the wooden buildings of Trinity suburbs. The architectural planning of the area, which has survived to the present day, residents of the city are obliged to restore the suburb developed after the fire.

In the 80s. XX century Restoration work was carried out to attract tourists to the Trinity suburb. Unfortunately, restorers failed to avoid extremes: the current view of the suburbs It has little in common with historical, and part of the development of the XVII century. Along the communal embankment and was demolished at all. Moreover, literally in a hundred meters from the suburbs, a 25-storey residential complex "Troitsky" was erected, during the construction of which the provisions of the Law on the Protection of Historical and Cultural Heritage were taken into account ...

general information
The characteristic feature of this quarter is its small buildings that look so natural and harmoniously, which is perceived as a single architectural ensemble. Similar to Troitskaya Mountain (this is the second name of the terrain) historical and architectural and cultural reserves are available in many European cities. But not each of them can be compared with Minsk in the age of the appearance of the first settlements: in this quarter they appeared very long ago and coincided with the initial period of the high Middle Ages, from which we are separated without a small nine centuries.
A kind of "mixing" epochs and cultures is also visible in the fact that in the area there are the first Catholic Church in the city and the Orthodox St. Borisoglebsk Church, the Holy Ascension Monastery and the abode of the Catholic Order of Mariavitikov, who did not reach modernity. These include the Basilian female abode of the Holy Trinity, which remained only in part. Today, in this part of Minsk, a quiet and measured life reigns. Not only Minsk residents, but also guests of the capital of Belarus with pleasure here are walking here, relax, at the same time getting acquainted with the sights, visiting museums and exhibitions.
Excursion in history
The past of Trinity suburb is rich in events and is associated with many historical personalities. It is enough to remember that it was here, in the heart of Minsk, the fate of two outstanding classics of Belarusian literature were crossed: the poet, publicist, literary critic and translator Maxim Adamovich Bogdanovich and the poet, playwright and publicist Yankee Kupala (Ivan Dominicovich Lutsech). The first one was born here, and the family lived for some time here.
A settlement called Troitskaya Mountain was formed by the Swisloch River, on the hill, in the period from the XII to the XIII century. In those distant times, this terrain was the center of economic life, where trading routes were crossed from Smolensk and Vilna, Mogilev and Polotsk. At the end of the XVI century, the Trinity market began to work, immediately became the largest trading platform of the city. It was surrounded by the fortress structures, and the Trinity Mountain itself was populated by merchants, artisans, peasants and military living in wooden houses.
Why did the suburb receive just such a name? There are several versions on this. According to one of them, the toponym arose from the name of the earthly defensive strengthening of the Holy Trinity, on the other from the Holy Trinity Women's Monastery. However, the most believable is the version that the name of the area gave a medieval Trinity Church, founded by Grand Duke Lithuanian and Prince Vitebsk Yagaylo, who accepted the title of King Polish in 1386. Indeed: in 1390, the Catholic Temple of the Blessed Trinity was built in the suburb. It was erected from the tree, and at the beginning of the XIX century he burned down during a strong fire. Despite such a sad finale, this cult structure was forever entered the story as the first church in the territory of Minsk, which existed over four centuries.
Together with him from the fire in that 1809, buildings and other monasteries, churches and churches, which presented a single architectural ensemble, who admired their magnificence were significantly injured. Subsequently, the ancient layout was restored. This was taken care of the emperor Alexander I, who gave good to the implementation of the relevant project. She was restored in stone, only this did not save the historical appearance of Trinity submissions from the shocks of the XX century. It was not only a war on him, but many rapid decisions were affected. For example, when restoration of the communal embankment, "tried" that its historical part is largely simply disappeared. And it was not the only loss ...
Separate buildings and even whole streets turned out to be destroyed in the 30s and 1960s. A little-known fact: at the site of the square, which is located in front of the opera house, in the XVI-XVIII centuries. There was a Catholic cemetery. And on the site of the Ascension Monastery, its construction dates from the XVIII century, in 1945-1946 the building of the Belarusian Military District was built. In the 80s of the last century, the unenviable fate has suffered some streets on the outskirts of Troitsky suburb. One ran along the whistle, taking the beginning near the modern Suvorov school and ending in the area of \u200b\u200bthe hotel "Belarus".
sights
Despite the fact that the modern view of the Troitsky suburb is not at all what was still century ago, the true connoisseurs of the antiquity love to be here. Knowing that Maxim Bogdanovich and Yankee Kupala hung on his narrow streets and Yanka Kupala, literally fascinates and mentally tolerates in those distant times. The tourists of the quarter, which is especially interesting between the streets of Starovalenskaya, Architect Zaborskoy, Bogdanovich and the Municipal Embankment already mentioned.
