The diocese is a real and rare architectural landmark.
I don't want to talk about the squalor of modern (40-50-year-old) Minsk architecture, it is so provincial and gray.
It is quite a pleasant place and part of the old Minsk. There are many cafes, restaurants and coffee shops. Offices, language courses, etc. It's nice to just take a walk. Parking is one of the disadvantages
It is a very beautiful and cozy place. The atmosphere is conducive to a leisurely stroll around the city. It is also perfect for photo shoots of any orientation.
It's a very interesting place. Restoring antiquity. When everything is finished, it will be very cozy and there will be a lot of selfie photos. They're already taking tours.
Coming to Minsk, the capital of Belarus, I want to learn as much as possible about the history of those places where I managed to visit. On this trip, I stayed in the Rakovsky suburb. Rakovskoe suburb is a district of Minsk that arose in the XI century along the ancient Rakovskaya road. On the territory of the suburb there was a Uniate church, a Carmelite church and a monastery, the Peter and Paul Monastery, from which the Peter and Paul Church has been preserved to this day.
This is the building of the Belarusian Exarchate of the Orthodox Church. I was there a long time ago. There is even a house church. Elevator. All the amenities.
This is the building of the Minsk diocesan administration, the building houses the church in honor of the saints, as well as the reception, office and office of the metropolitan and the service.
A place with its own atmosphere, where you can see the shades of that very culture, see how the houses were painted and what roads there were at that time, so to speak, a piece of history
The renovation will be finished soon it will be beautiful

A good place to walk, everything is clean around, there is something to see. It's not crowded, the place is the best for a walk, plus the place is historical)
This is where I work. The area of the Rakovsky suburb is very beautiful. This is the part of Minsk that has been preserved and has not been touched by high-rise buildings.
