Кагальный колодец

Кагальный колодец, Spring at Castle Hill, Mscislaŭ, Belarus

Description

Kahalny Well sits at the base of Castle Hill and features a chapel, covered shelters, and a bathing platform with safety railings for visitors. The water comes from a natural spring that remains accessible year-round within a protective structure.

History

The well received its name from Jewish residents who managed the city's water supply from the 16th century until World War II. Following this period, the site was transformed for Orthodox Christian use and continues to serve that purpose today.

Culture

The site carries religious meaning for Orthodox visitors who come for blessings and water rituals throughout the year. Local people gather here during celebrations to honor the spiritual practices connected to the location.

Practical

Water can be collected directly from the spring throughout the year, and bathing facilities are available regardless of the season. The site is fully equipped with handrails and protective structures to ensure safe access for all visitors.

Did you know?

The spring feeds into the Zdorovets stream, and year-round water immersion takes place regardless of weather conditions. This ongoing practice reflects how the location remains integral to daily life in the area.
