Ashmyany

“Where to find Halal food or a Halal restaurant in Ashmyany, or perform Salat in a mosque in Ashmyany?“ “Those are some of the questions Muslim travelers often ask when traveling to Ashmyany.“

Ashmyany is based in Grodno Oblast, Belarus. The town played a noticeable role in the Feudal War of 1430s, but no monuments survive from that period. The town centre, despite consisting of mostly new buildings, preserves the typical street pattern of an old market town, dating back to at least the 16th century.

What to See

Ashmiana catolic kosel2 - The recognisable facade of St. Michael's with its slender towers close together.

St. Michael Church | 54.4235,25.936 A huge renovation in 1905 resulted in the present Baroque Revival church, barely leaving anything visible from the previous building and is the only active Roman Catholic church in town.

Church of the Resurrection 54.4245,25.93613 An active Orthodox church built in 1875 in Russian Revival style. The building was restored in 1988-90.

Franciscan church 54.42595,25.9562 - This ruined church is a mix of three architectural styles at least. The damaged late gothic walls in the eastern half date back to the 16th century, being thus the oldest surviving construction in Ashmyany. Some alterations to these walls belong to the Baroque period. The rest, including the facade, comes from 1822 neoclassical restoration of the church, following the damage in 1812 in the course of the Napoleonic Wars. The area where the church stands has been known as the Old Ashmyana. Archeological evidence suggests that the original 14th-century settlement of Ashmyana (Oszmiana, Oszmiena) was on the low hill next to the church.

Synagogue 54.425,25.9335 A brick building from the early 20th century. The synagogue is no longer active, but quite impeccably maintained, including the unusually shaped roof.

F. Bahuszewicz Museum of Local History 54.4244,25.934 A small museum dedicated to local history and in part to the poet Franciszak Bahuszewicz, one of the founders of the modern Belarusian literature, who spent his last years in a village nearby.

The house of the Strugacz Family 54.41975,25.9102 - Lejba Strugacz, a wealthy entrepreneur of Yahudi descent, is remembered as the founder of the local yeast factory still active today. The family house built in the early 20th century is a fine example of modern architecture.
