Новый Свет

Novy Svet is a neighborhood in Hrodna where buildings with Constructivist, Art Nouveau, and Russian Revival features stand side by side. The streets show a mix of different building periods and design approaches that reflect the early 1900s.

The district developed in the early 1900s when Hrodna was modernizing quickly and new building styles arrived from outside. This period brought Russian and European influences together, which you can still see in the buildings today.

The neighborhood shows how different cultural influences came together in its buildings. You can see how European and Russian architectural traditions mixed, and this blend tells the story of the city's identity through its appearance.

The district is in the center of Hrodna and easy to reach by public transport, which stops at several points. You get the best experience by walking through the streets and taking time to notice the details on the building facades.

The buildings here show a rare combination of four different architectural styles in a relatively small area. This mix happened because the city changed quickly during this transition period and different design approaches existed side by side.
