A very atmospheric and unusual place where you can feel the spirit of bygone times. An interesting concept is a park filled with the history of vanished villages. A calm, slightly mystical atmosphere that makes you think about time and life. It would be good to add more information plates with the stories of villages in order to delve deeper into the past. I recommend it for lovers of unusual places and quiet walks.

Perhaps this is the strongest memorial dedicated to the Great Patriotic War, where I have ever been. The memorial was created in the 50s under the USSR. The memorial was created on the site of the burned village of Khatyn. There are 286 of them, burned to the ground along with the inhabitants. It's not even possible to read it. The memorial consists of several parts and recreates the village completely, only on the site of burned houses, there are chimneys of stoves, like candles of memory, and on them are plaques with the names of those living in this house and the age of the children. And when you read 2 goals, 4 years, 10 years.... Shock, a lump in my throat, tears flowing by themselves. How could grown men just drive all the children and women with the elderly into a barn and set fire to it????? What kind of hatred had to be in the hearts of people not to see the children of another nation like that. I do not want to write about politics and who was in the composition of these punishers, the past cannot be returned. But to all those who are looking for the truth in history and who have questions inside why this is happening now, come to the memorial, walk around, feel this pain. The central place in this memorial is occupied by the figure of a grandfather who carries the lifeless burnt body of his granddaughter in his arms. Miraculously, he survived as a witness to the hell that happened on earth. And how did the author of the sculpture manage to put unbearable pain, hope and faith in Victory into the eyes of this elder. Do not drive past, the memorial is located 5 km from the highway, between Polotsk and Vitebsk. There is a huge parking lot with free comfortable toilets. There is a museum and a cafe. The day off is Monday, the museum and cafe are closed, the memorial is open

The atmosphere is very strong. Makes you think. But overall, it's great that the renovation was done. Be sure to visit someone who hasn't been. I liked it, special thanks to the guide. She talked with her soul and emotions.

KHATYN! A MEMORIAL BELL RINGS EVERY 30 SECONDS! The incredibly heavy aura of this place. The whole exposition is designed to be remembered! The museum is a must-visit, new, interactive, everything can be touched, turned on. Full immersion in the topic.

Khotyn, a place of memory and sorrow.
I recommend every resident of the former USSR, Russia and the near abroad to visit there, take a tour and feel this bitterness.
Nature itself seems to have stopped there, there is no birdsong, but only the ringing of bells every 30 seconds from chimneys from burned houses.
Memorials of burnt turds, all this helps both to feel the scale of the tragedy and to understand the strength of our spirit.
Come, visit the museum, look at these red bloody rivers of flowers, listen to the silence and thank our grandfathers and great-grandfathers for their heroism!

It's a very difficult place for energy! Nevertheless, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the organizers of the memorial complex and the Government of the Republic of Belarus for preserving the memory of the great feat of the peoples of the USSR and the great grief that followed the war.
The place is very well maintained, the information is easy to understand, the museum exposition is well modeled

A place with an indescribable energy. The bells ring periodically in absolute silence.
It is difficult to imagine the horror that the residents of many Belarusian villages have experienced.
An exhibition in a museum with interactive elements. It's informative even without a guide. Unfortunately, I didn't ask about the audio guide.
It is definitely necessary to take grown-up children to such places, passing on the memory and respect for the feat of their ancestors to the next generation.

This place does not leave anyone indifferent. A huge well-maintained territory, a large parking area, there is a place to eat, a large selection of souvenirs, clean toilets.
The museum on the territory left enthusiastic feelings, the open-air museum makes you feel the feelings of deep sorrow and reverence for the people who died in the war.
Thanks to the museum staff for their hard work!

A very atmospheric place, 60 km from Minsk.
I am glad that they make an exit from the main highway directly to the village. Previously, I had to make a detour or detour, which is not very convenient.
It is mandatory for both adults and children to visit.

Vaccination against the "brown plague" is mandatory for visits with children. We were with a 17-year-old teenager and a 10-year-old child.
A wonderful museum, small, but the exposition and the idea are impressive, not even so ... it chills to the bone!
The White Hall is incredible in the power of meaning!
Lots of interactive screens with archived documents!
We were on the eve of Victory Day, we left an indelible impression.
Thanks!

The three of us went to Khatyn: my son, a guest from Turkmenistan and me. It's great that the Memorial is in perfect condition! It's like new. And how nice it is to see flowers and a lot of people: guests from Russia and other Republics of the former Soviet Union). When I saw the Wreaths from Russians and Belarusian Organizations, I just realized: - Fuck who will defeat us if we are together! Everything will work out: we should be friends with each other, not at war! Our Grandfathers beat the fascists together. All our Peoples were liberating our common Homeland! We still remember the Feat of the People and the grief of that War. And we all grieve together and remember our fellow countrymen who were burned alive and those who were burned in Russia and Ukraine. Eternal Memory to you and bow to the ground.

My heart and soul are tearing apart here.... The memorial is being looked after with such love! Thank you very much and a low bow to you, Belarusians, for so carefully preserving the memory of people who passed through hell ... the memory of the dead villages and towns ... this grief cannot be experienced and forgotten, you need to live with it. And every person in our countries should come here and honor the memory of those who held back the onslaught of the Nazis.....

I recently visited the Cemetery of Villages Park and was amazed by its beauty and modernity. Everything is done at the highest level, attention to detail and care for visitors are felt.
I would especially like to mention the large parking lot, which allows you to park your car without any problems and enjoy a walk in the park.
Visiting the park itself is absolutely free. I recommend everyone to visit this park. Here you can not only enjoy nature and fresh air, but also learn more about the history of our country.

During the autumn holidays, we went to Belarus with a child, one of the places we visited was Khatyn, I definitely recommend taking an excursion to learn more about what the fascists were doing in our Slavic land. Let our children know the history well and honor the memory of the people who died in this terrible war.

A difficult but must-visit place for teenagers and adults!
The museum on the territory reveals all the cruelty and inhumanity of the Evil that our ancestors fought and defeated. And it is an excellent "vaccination" for future generations.
The territory of the park complex is well maintained, there is a large parking lot for cars, a cafe, a free toilet.
The entrance to the memorial is free, the entrance to the museum costs a little money. It is decently more expensive with guides.

It's hard to assess such a place, of course. But I will describe my impressions :
I am from the Russian Federation. For me, the Khatyn Memorial Complex was one of the must-visit places. I can say that the realization of the museum (the content of which is more widely regarded as an object of complete immersion) is beyond praise. 1000% visualization! Very deep impressions, while there is no information overload, because everyone knows this black page of the history of Belarus, there are a large number of books and memories to familiarize themselves with. And here you will simply experience emotions - animal fear, oppressive, bitter.
Stylistically, the museum building and other structures also fit into a single style, there is no dissonance.
Well, the cemetery itself and the whole complex as a whole - the ashes of villages wiped off the face of the earth, the skeletons of Khatyn, the groans
of bells - everything here is so great and beautiful from the visual, how terrible and scary.
I thank the leadership of the Republic of Belarus, the staff of the complex, and the citizens of the country for keeping it in memory. For keeping every memorable corner of their land in perfect cleanliness (both physical and spiritual). This is a place that every citizen of the former Soviet Union and the participating countries on both sides is obliged to visit. It will be a painful injection for those who forget the story. But we all really need him.

To the point of pain in the soul. I've been wanting to visit this place for a long time. The memory in our hearts should always be about such events. Children should be brought here more often so that the memory of generations is passed on. I advise you to come here and walk slowly, read the names on the signs of burned and burned houses.

The ringing of the bells from the first minute of the visit is breathtaking! Grief and sadness are just in the air. And the realization of the pain and torment that people, and especially children, suffered, burned alive in these villages, plunges into shock and involuntarily tears roll in their eyes. I believe that every person on earth is obliged to visit this place and draw the necessary conclusions so that this never happens again!

To be honest, it was hard for me to breathe there...
As soon as I decided to go to Belarus, there were no questions about taking an excursion to Khatyn or not. Sure. It's important, and I wanted to tell my daughter.
Everything is thought out there, down to the smallest detail. Bells that strike on every house every 30 seconds, restored sections with a pipe and the names of the dead, ashes from 185 more villages, a mass grave, a monument, a church. Since recently, the museum.
During the tour, the sobbing of women could be heard all the time. The men kept their faces stern. The children were silent and looked at the numerous toys in horror.. And I was thinking - why did we forget everything?..
On the night of March 21-22, 1943, a convoy of German vehicles was fired upon by Soviet partisans. An officer, Hitler's favorite, was killed in this shootout. On March 22, 1943, a punitive battalion of Germans entered the village of Khatyn.
The entire population of Khatyn was reduced to one wooden barn. Children who tried to escape were shot.
When all the villagers were in the barn, it was lined with straw and set on fire. Those who got out of the flames were immediately shot. 149 villagers were burned in the fire, 75 of them children under the age of 16.
Three survived: two boys aged 7 and 12 and 56-year-old blacksmith Joseph Kaminsky. Joseph then found his son, but he died in his arms
There is also a mass grave and an inscription:
Kind people, remember: we loved life and our homeland, and you, dear ones. We burned alive in the fire. Our request to all: may sorrow and sorrow turn into your courage and strength, so that you can establish peace and quiet on Earth forever. So that from now on, life does not die anywhere and never in a whirlwind of fires!

While the guide was telling the story of this village, we all, without exception, had tears in our eyes. Everyone knew about Khotyn from the school curriculum, but to be in this place and feel it... The alarm is a reminder to all living people not to forget. Bright memory to all those who died in that terrible tragedy.

It is a very touching place, I think that everyone needs to know about the cruelty of those times, in order to prevent the substitution of values at the present time. The ringing of bells every 30 seconds plunges into this tragedy even more. There is a very large parking lot for cars, you can get up on caravans (you can fill up with water), there are clean toilets, the territory is very clean.

The impression this park made on me was even colossal. Tears started flowing right at the entrance. It's a very emotional place, it doesn't seem to be anything special. A half-empty field, monuments to burnt-out houses, an eternal flame, a monument to heroic cities.... But in general, there is also this ringing of bells... I'm thrilled, few places have impressed me so much, this is one of them.

Very impressive. I visited here for the second time and shed tears for the second time. In the summer, the huge parking lot was occupied, it was crowded, buses with tourists arrived. This time I visited in winter. Almost deserted. In silence, the ringing of bells over the skeletons of the burned-out huts of the village resounds throughout the district. Once again, I went to almost all the foundations and reread the names of all the people burned in the huts. We had to walk through the snow to some huts - not everything was cleared. I didn't dare to go to the farthest without shoe covers or snowshoes. I recommend it at any time of the year. Bring the carnations!

This is the place that everyone should visit, this is our memory. the cost of souvenirs is extremely high, food is only fast food at not the lowest prices. We arrived prepared and the children also read where we were going, it was interesting for us without a guide. If you came by yourself, and not an organized group, then admission to the complex is free, a visit to the museum is 6 rubles, interesting, I recommend visiting, but children under 12 years old are not advised, it's too hard for the child's psyche all this. Let's just say the service is 2, the memorial itself is 10 out of 10

The Khatyn Memorial Complex is mandatory for all adults and children to remember and honor the memory! It is difficult to realize in our time all the fear and horror of the civilians of Khatyn and other villages who are buried here. The feelings that such memorials evoke cannot be confused with anything, it is horror, fear, sadness, bewilderment at what scale human cruelty can be...
Organizational aspects, among the advantages:
1) Large free parking;
2) modern complex with convenient location of facilities;
3) there is a free toilet;
4) a small entrance fee to the museum (6 Belarusian rubles);
5) you can view all the objects on the street for free.
Of the minuses, the story with the guides is not very clear, they seem to be a separate state)) at the ticket office, the museum is sent to a detached building to arrange an excursion. The price of a tour of the museum is 25 Belarusian rubles, for objects on the street 23 Belarusian rubles. Somehow it turns out to be expensive ((

The strongest impressions, even in comparison with Volgograd, Rzhev, Brest, Karelian Isthmus.
Khatyn - tears the soul apart, defies consciousness.
If you have been to the TOP 7 volcanoes, but have not been to Khatyn, the program is not closed.
