At the Belarusian Folk Art Museum, you can encounter traditional Belarusian folk art and works by contemporary craftspeople; the Raubichi Republican winter-sports training center invites you to go cross-country skiing. The town also has a late-19th-century church and digital cultural formats. This gives you different themes to focus on when planning your trip: sport, craftsmanship and the history of the collection.

Cross-country skiing and group transport

The Raubichi Republican winter-sports training center has its postal address in Astrašycki Haradok and welcomes athletes, recreational skiers and visitors seeking relaxation to go cross-country skiing. Information about public access may change; check the current conditions before your visit.

For its customers, the center organizes passenger transport by bus, including for tourist and school trips. If you are planning to use this option for a group trip, confirm the transport arrangements in advance.

Folk art at the Raubichi sports complex

The Belarusian Folk Art Museum showcases traditional folk art from the 16th century to the beginning of the 20th century, as well as works by contemporary craftspeople. This span connects older works with contemporary craftsmanship, offering two perspectives on the collection.

The collections on display include traditional peasant clothing, towels and decorative textiles from various regions of Belarus. Clothing, household textiles and decorative works are presented as distinct aspects of the collection alongside their regional origins.

The Royal Gates also provide a tangible link to straw weaving: the museum displays works dating from the late 18th to the early 20th century as examples of its highly developed form.

The museum is located in the Raubichi Olympic Sports Complex in Astrašycki Haradok. Confirm the address before your trip.

Church architecture in the town

Astrašycki Haradok is home to a late-19th-century Church of the Transfiguration in the retrospective Russian style. Old icons and church furnishings have been preserved inside; a wooden Chapel of Saint Righteous Anna stands immediately beside it. Comparing the church's specified style with the chapel's wooden construction offers a clear architectural contrast.

Virtual cultural formats

The virtual local history museum offers live guided tours, including ones connected with the People's Museum of Battle Glory in Astrašycki Haradok. This adds a digital format with live tours to the experience of viewing collection pieces in person. Virtual content may be updated or reorganized; check the current presentation in advance.
