Kapyĺ

The district capital of Kapyl extends across 1,600 square kilometers of land comprising both urban settlements and agricultural territories in central Belarus.

First documented in 1274, Kapyl received Magdeburg Law rights in 1652, allowing the settlement to conduct markets and establish its municipal governance system.

The district ethnographic museum, housed in a former leather workshop, displays archaeological findings and artifacts representing the region's development through centuries.

The town connects to major transport routes through the Republican highway P61 and maintains a railway connection at Timkovichi station, 9 kilometers from the center.

The Zamkovaya Hill, shaped as an ellipse by Ice Age forces, contains archaeological evidence of both Slavic Dregovich tribes and Viking settlements.
