TOWN HALL (РАТУША)

Built in 1596 and rebuilt in 1752, it is the oldest city hotel in Belarus. Its tower, its clock and its dome in baroque style dominate the city centre and symbolize the freedom that the city acquired in 1586 thanks to the right of Magdeburg, obtained by Radziwill Sirotka, the lord of the city at the time. In the Lieninskaja street you can find th and th century houses. Opposite town hall, at 4 rue Čapajeva, is the famous Market house (Дом на рынке), an excellent architectural example of the early th century. Built in 1721, she belonged to a wealthy merchant. At the end of the Savieckaja street, towards the river, you can see the only one of the four doors of the city preserved until now. It is the door of Sluck (Слуцкая брама) (late th century), in baroque style. The former Benedictine monastery, whose premises are occupied today by a pedagogical school, is further away.
