Pružany

Pružany is the administrative center of Pružany District in Brest Region and sits where two waterways meet to form a river. The town spreads across flat terrain shaped by these water routes that define its layout.

The settlement had an earlier name and received an official town charter in the 16th century along with formal symbols of status. This recognition marked an important transition in its development as a regional center.

The name reflects the local landscape and waterways, and today the town is home to people from different backgrounds who live side by side. You will notice this diversity in the streets and community spaces throughout the area.

This is the main administrative area managing multiple smaller settlements and rural communities across the district. Visitors will find the primary public services and facilities for the region concentrated here.

A palace built in the mid-1800s stands in the center of town and now houses a museum with regional art and historical collections. It gives visitors a chance to see how the area's creative traditions developed over time.
