Discover Kruhlica

Landscape conservation and historic architecture provide further themes for travel planning: the Selyava area and buildings in Krupki District can be considered in terms of their different features. In the wider destination of Minsk Region, Niasvizh offers an earlier architectural and historical comparison: the town hall was built in 1596, ten years after the town was granted Magdeburg rights. The Corpus Christi Church in Niasvizh was built between 1587 and 1593 to a design by architect Giovanni Maria Bernardoni. The palace ensemble lies in the northeastern part of the town and is surrounded by ponds on the Uša River. These construction dates are several centuries earlier than those of the cultural heritage sites mentioned here in Krupki District.

Selyava: landscape and nature reserve

The Selyava Republican Landscape Reserve protects a unique landscape and lake complex, as well as habitats of species listed in the Red Book of the Republic of Belarus. Its protected status is based on a Belarusian government resolution. The reserve extends across Krupki District in Minsk Region and Chashniki District in Vitebsk Region.

It is helpful to distinguish between the two uses of the name Selyava: the Selyava Reservoir in Krupki District is used for recreation and recreational fishing. In the same district, the Selyava State Landscape Reserve of Republican Importance was established in 1993. For travel planning, these are two separate topics: recreational fishing at the reservoir, on the one hand, and landscape conservation and habitats, on the other.

Architectural history and culture in Krupki District

The Svyatsky manor house in Krupki is an Art Nouveau architectural monument from the early 20th century. Karl Svyatsky, the last owner of Krupki, had it built in 1900. Remains of a park that extends to the Bobr River have been preserved at the manor house. Its architectural style, year of construction, and the park’s documented connection to the river give the site different historical points of reference.

Other cultural heritage sites in Krupki District reflect different construction dates and styles. In Yazby, there is a landowner’s palace in the late Neoclassical style, dating from the late 19th century. The Swjata-Spasa-Preobraschenskaja Church in Gritskovichi dates from 1850; the wooden Swjata-Bogorodizkaja Church in Khudovtsy dates from 1894. These examples can be distinguished by their respective architectural styles, locations, and dates.

St. Nicholas Church and the Historical and Local History Museum in Krupki are also part of a regional cultural route through Krupki District. Alongside the buildings described, the route therefore includes a church and a museum. This brings together different cultural themes for travel planning without conflating architectural history, nature conservation, and recreational use.
