Kobryn

Kobryn is an administrative district in southwestern Belarus covering approximately 2,039 square kilometers. It contains around 162 settlements organized into 11 rural administrative units.

The territory first appeared in written records in 1287 and later fell under the Grand Duchy of Lithuania following the Union of Krewo in 1385. This shift shaped the region's political and cultural development for centuries.

The place holds archaeological sites and architectural monuments scattered throughout the area. These remains give visitors a sense of the region's past and its layered development.

The area is primarily rural and agricultural, with a landscape of flat fields and scattered villages. Visitors should know that infrastructure here is less developed than in larger urban centers.

Near Lyahchitsy Kniazha Mountain lies a burial ground with ancient tombs, including the grave of Saint Olga. These sites reveal burial customs that were practiced in Belarusian communities long ago.
