KGB headquarters, Minsk, Soviet intelligence headquarters on Independence Avenue, Minsk, Belarus

The KGB headquarters is a large building painted in pale yellow that occupies an entire block of Independence Avenue in the city center. It features neoclassical design elements including columns at the entrance and is surrounded by a protective perimeter wall.

Built between 1945 and 1947 to designs by architects Mikhail Parusnikov and Gennady Badanov, the building has housed the state security committee of Belarus since its completion. Its right wing incorporates the Felix Dzerzhinsky Club, and the corner belvedere was built as an office for Lavrenty Tsanava, state security minister of the Byelorussian SSR.

The club housed in the right wing is named after Felix Dzerzhinsky, founder of the Soviet secret police, and its hall is decorated with a frieze of bas-relief dancers, stucco garlands and a coffered ceiling. The corner belvedere was built as the office of Lavrenty Tsanava, state security minister of the Byelorussian SSR.

The building stands at the corner of Independence Avenue and Komsomolskaya Street, with its main entrance set back behind a cour d'honneur. It is an active government facility, so only the exterior can be viewed from the street. The courtyard behind holds the round detention building known as "Amerykanka", which is not visible from the avenue.

Behind the headquarters stands a round detention building from the 1920s, known as "Amerykanka" or "Okrąglak", with 18 cells arranged in a circle around a spiral staircase. After World War II its tower was lowered so it would not be visible from behind the KGB building.
