Culture and History
The Red Barracks in Bereza were built in 1870. Today, they house rows of shops, an art gallery and a café. Also in Bereza, the only spiritual and patriotic complex in Belarus was opened in 2009 on the grounds of the 19th-century Old Park. The Carthusian monastery in Bereza was built between 1648 and 1689.
The “Austrian Cemetery” is located in the village of Novoselki, 1.5 km from Bereza. The “Zditovskaya Defense” memorial complex in Novoselki was built in 1975 at the site of fierce fighting involving the “Sovetskaya Belorussia” partisan brigade.
Leoshki itself is also associated with historical names: In 1620, Chancellor Lew Sapieha gave the church in the village of Leoshki four voloki of land called “Troyanovshchizna”. A chalk factory was established in the vicinity of Leoshki.
