Kopys, Administrative settlement in Vitebsk Region, Belarus
The urban settlement Kopys stands on the banks of the Dnieper River within the Orsha District, serving as a regional administrative center.
The settlement, first mentioned in documents from 1059, received town rights in the 16th century under the ownership of the Ostrogski family.
The presence of ten churches and a synagogue in the early 1900s reflected the religious diversity of Kopys and its multicultural population.
The settlement maintains connections to the regional center of Orsha through established road and railway networks, facilitating transportation and commerce.
The Jewish printing house established in Kopys during the late 18th century marked the settlement as a center for Hebrew literature production.
