Bykhov population. Detailed Bykhov map - streets, house numbers, areas

A fortified city, a count's manor with a fountain, the birthplace of the Barkulabov annals and glass cores ... Are you intrigued? All this is Bykhov district. You can go here now: the first spring greenery is breaking through, but the leaves on the trees have not yet blossomed. But because the panoramas that open from local heights are amazing. TUT.BY found more than five reasons to visit a city with 645 years of history and its surroundings.

First, a few words about the coat of arms of Bykhov, which is a red shield with two crossed cannons. From the sixteenth to the beginning of the twentieth century, a people’s workshop worked in the city, where craftsmen of the highest qualification made guns, cores, bullets, etc. Moreover, the cores were not only iron, but even glass and wooden. At the foundry cannon workshop was the famous Bykhov arms school.

The first reason. Castle, synagogue-fortress and the legendary "sitting"

The castle on the banks of the Dnieper is the first reason why it is worth visiting the only surviving fortress city of the 17th century in Belarus. At the end of the 16th century, the hetman of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Jan Karol Khodkevich, received permission from the king to strengthen the city castle. The construction of a new, modern by the standards of the construction was completed only in 1619. After 20 years, Sapieha, who rebuilt the castle, became the owners of Bykhov.

   The layout of the Bykhov castle. So it looked at Sapieha in the XVII century

During the war, the Commonwealth and Moscow in 1654-1667. Bykhov Castle was besieged for the past three years, but survived even when almost the entire territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was captured by the enemy, and the capital, Vilna, fell. During the Great Northern War, the Russian troops of Peter I besieged the city twice. During the retreat, the troops blew up the bramas and bastions of the castle, but it was rebuilt.

The German headquarters was located in the surviving buildings of the castle during the Second World War, and Jews were tortured and killed here. They say that in the numerous cellars and underground passages of the castle there are still unburied remains. In the 90s of the XX century, the surviving buildings housed a woodworking workshop.

Today, it reminds us little of the past greatness of the most impregnable castle itself, the only one preserved on the territory of Eastern Belarus. Teenagers play here and young couples play around - wooden shields in place of gates and windows are not an obstacle for them.




Across the road from the castle is the building of the Bykhov Forestry. In 1917, it was a prison in which the generals and officers of the Russian army fell for participating and supporting Kornilovsky’s speech. 20 people, led by General Kornilov, leader of the White Movement in southern Russia, were imprisoned from September to November. Later this event went down in history as the “Bykhov Seat”.

When the prisoners were released, most of them became the founders of the Volunteer Army, forming the core of its command staff.

Not far from the castle and the former prison there is a monument of baroque architecture of the beginning of the XVII century - a stone synagogue. The thickness of its walls is about two meters. The layout of the building is unusual - on one side there is a round tower with loopholes. All this suggests that the building was built as a defensive.

They say that a bima has been preserved inside the building - one of four in Belarus. This is the place where the Torah scroll was read - four columns with a special table between them. But taking into account the general condition of the structure and the sky shining through the windows clogged with boards, we do not dare even to guess what condition this unique place is now in.




By the way, at the end of the 19th century there were more than a dozen synagogues in Bykhov, all but this stone one were wooden. Perhaps that is why only one has survived.

The second reason. Temples and homeland of the author of the Barkulabov Chronicle


  Holy Trinity Church was built at the end of the nineteenth century and is a monument of wooden architecture. She has three entrances, which are decorated in the form of wide stone porches. Above each - visors on two wooden columns.

In the temple was a miraculous image of 1659 “Our Lady Hodegetria Barkolabovskaya”, which was previously stored in the Barkolabov Holy Resurrection Monastery. On July 25, 2010 the icon was solemnly transferred from the Holy Trinity Church in Bykhov to the Holy Resurrection Monastery.

The Ascension Monastery in the village of Barkolabovo, 8 km from Bykhov, was founded in 1623 and is active. The miraculous icon of the Mother of God, donated to the monastery in 1659 by Prince Pozharsky, who was returning with troops to Russia from Lithuania, is stored in the cathedral church of the monastery.

According to legend, the icon was hidden in a military wagon train. When the detachment of the prince passed the monastery, the convoy suddenly stopped and could not budge him. Pozharsky realized that the image wants to stay in the monastery, and passed it to the abbess. The image is famous for miracles during the Northern War and the Patriotic War of 1812.

During the Great Patriotic War, the icon was preserved - either former nuns, or local residents in the chapel at the railway station. In 1953, before Easter, the miraculous image was transferred to the Holy Trinity Church, then to the monastery.

The image of the Barkolabov Mother of God is one of the most revered in Eastern Belarus.

If you go beyond the walls of the monastery, you can see on the horizon the Church of the Kazan Mother of God. The brick temple was built in 1904. This is a monument of architecture of the pseudo-Russian style, which is on the list of historical and cultural values \u200b\u200bof Belarus.


  It is believed that the village is the birthplace of the Barkulabov Chronicle, which at the end of the XVI - beginning of the XVI I centuries was composed by priest Fyodor Filipovich or a deacon or psalmist who served in his church.

The Barkulabov Chronicle covers the events from 1563 to 1608 and tells mainly about the activities of the Cossacks under the leadership of Severin Nalyvaiko, whose units operated in Ukraine and Belarus. The annals also describe the life and life of Rusyns of that time, the history of Belarusian cities is described.

The Barkulabov Chronicle occupies the end of a manuscript collection kept in the manuscript department of the State Historical Museum in Moscow. It was written by Belarusian cursive of the XVI I century.

The third reason. The memory of the wars and the Holocaust

In the suburb of Bykhov - the village of Sapezhinka - there is a memorial sign in memory of the French invasion. On this place from July 9 to July 12, 1812 was the headquarters of the commander in chief of the Second Russian Army, General Peter Bagration. At this time, Raevsky’s corps fought near the village of Saltanovka in the Mogilev region, thereby diverting the enemy’s forces while Bagration ferried troops across the Dnieper.


  Between Sapezhinka and Bykhov there are two cemeteries - Jewish and Orthodox. In Jewish, two steles are installed with inscriptions stating that men, women and children who died at the hands of the Nazis were buried in this place.

In 1941, the invaders organized the Sapezhinsky ghetto, which did not last long. They did not feed the prisoners and did not give them water, they scoffed at them, women were raped. After about 2 weeks, the Sapezhinki Jews were driven to the Bykhov ghetto, where they were killed along with the Bykhov Jews.

In Bykhov and the Bykhov district in 1939, nearly 6.8 thousand Jews lived. Of these, about five thousand were killed by the Nazis during the occupation. More than 4 thousand Jews were tortured and killed in the Bykhov ghetto.

The fourth reason. Ludchitskaya height and 10-meter Bayan

Perhaps one of the most impressive memorials in memory of the Great Patriotic War is located in the village of Ludchitsy. On a concave wall-stele - 2.5-meter chest high reliefs of six Heroes of the Soviet Union. Vladimir Martynov, Sundutkali Iskaliev and Gulyam Yakubov died at the Ludchitsky height. Petr Vinichenko, Galaktion Razmadze and Ivan Borisevich received a high rank for distinction in breaking the enemy’s defense along the Dnieper, the liberation of the Slavgorod, Rogachev and Bykhov districts.

At the top of the artificially created mound, a 10-meter symbolic figure of the epic Bayan was established. According to the idea of \u200b\u200bthe authors, he "as if leads an eternal song glorifying the feat of warrior heroes."

The laying of the memorial began in 1967. According to some reports, during the construction of the memorial for the mound of mound, the soil was taken from the Mesolithic settlement, where for the first time in the territory of the Mogilev region the remains of an ancient human dwelling were discovered. And the plates at the foot of the complex were originally intended for the hay towers of the Revolution farm. The audit that arrived later did not take into account the arguments of the collective farm chairman and punished the misuse of the stoves with a large fine.

The Memorial of Military Glory at Ludchitsky Heights was inaugurated on June 24, 1984. Relatives of the Heroes of the Soviet Union arrived at the ceremony, whose courage was immortalized in stone.

The fifth reason. Manor of Count Tolstoy and a valuable park

The 19th-century manor of Count Tolstoy in the village of Grudinovka makes an indelible impression. Outside - exquisite beauty, inside - preserved stucco and mountains of garbage. The most beautiful place, alas, has become almost a dump. But the park, noticeably, is being cleaned - the territory is well-groomed, there is not a hint of garbage. Apparently, it’s worth thanks to the neighbors - the Grudinovo rural medical outpatient clinic.

Empress Catherine II granted the village with serfs, almost 19 thousand tithes of land and forest to the Mogilev governor Count Dmitry Alexandrovich Tolstoy. He - a representative of the second branch of the Tolstoy clan, the one that became famous for the famous military - in 1812 was the governor of Mogilev.

Dmitry Tolstoy, together with his wife Ekaterina Alexandrovna, turned Grudinovka into a blossoming family estate: linden alleys, a large decorative pool with fountains in front of the palace veranda, greenhouses with peaches and exotic flowers. Moreover, the heyday of the estate is associated precisely with the widow of Dmitry.

An English-style park was laid out over an area of \u200b\u200b10 hectares. Oaks, birches, pines, spruce, thuja, Siberian cedar, as well as more than 40 species of plants grew here, some of them were not found anywhere else in Belarus. With the advent of Soviet power, houses were built right in the park. Only oak survived from the plants, which two people could hardly grab, and an avenue of thuja, possibly the oldest in Belarus.

In the Great Patriotic War, a hospital was placed in the estate. After 1945, a secondary school was organized here, then an orphanage, a sanatorium boarding school for children with rheumatism. In 1963, the status of a monument of nature and landscape gardening art of republican significance was assigned to the Stalin Park. However, after the Chernobyl tragedy, these places were considered infected. The boarding school was moved from these places, and the count's house has since been desolate.

For tourists

At the disposal of those who want to spend the night in Bykhov are the Dnipro Hotel and apartments for rent. - A list of cafes and restaurants, as well as Bykhov's canteens. In the warmer months, we would recommend taking a bicycle and getting to Bykhov by car or train, and then - exploring the surroundings on a two-wheeled vehicle. By the way, avid fishermen praise the Bykhov region for excellent fishing spots and a good catch. So do not forget fishing rods.

For help in the preparation of the material, TUT.BY thanks the Mogilev city organization “Belarusan Mav Tavarii” and its chairman Oleg Dyachkov.

Excerpt characterizing Bykhov

Bock Fock was the most angry man of the whole house. Natasha loved to try her power over him. He did not believe her and went to ask, really?
  - Oh, this young lady! Said Foka, faking a frown on Natasha.
  No one in the house sent as many people and did not give them as much work as Natasha. She could not indifferently see people, so as not to send them somewhere. She seemed to be trying to get angry, if any of them would pout on her, but people didn’t like to execute any orders as much as Natashins did. “What would I do? Where would I go? ” thought Natasha, walking slowly along the corridor.
  - Nastasya Ivanovna, what will be born of me? She asked the jester, who in his kutsaveyka was walking towards her.
  “Fleas, dragonflies, blacksmiths are from you,” the jester answered.
- My God, my God, all the same. Ah, where would I go? What would I do with myself? - And she quickly, clattering her legs, ran up the stairs to Vogel, who lived with his wife on the top floor. Two governesses were sitting at Vogel's, on a table were plates of raisins, walnuts and almonds. Governesses talked about where it is cheaper to live, in Moscow or in Odessa. Natasha sat down, listened to their conversation with a serious, thoughtful face and stood up. “The island of Madagascar,” she said. “Ma da gas car,” she repeated distinctly every syllable, and without answering m me Schoss's questions about what she was saying, she left the room. Petya, her brother, was also upstairs: he and his uncle were setting up fireworks, which he intended to fire at night. - Petya! Petka! She shouted to him, “take me down.” s - Petya ran to her and framed his back. She jumped on him, clasping his neck in her arms and he bouncing ran with her. “No, it’s not necessary - the island of Madagascar,” she said, and jumping off it, she went downstairs.
  As if bypassing his kingdom, having tested his power and making sure that everyone is submissive, but still boring, Natasha went into the hall, picked up the guitar, sat down in a dark corner behind the cabinet and began to sort out the strings in bass, making out the phrase that she remembered from one opera heard in St. Petersburg with Prince Andrei. For outsiders, something on her guitar came out that made no sense, but in her imagination a whole series of memories revived because of these sounds. She sat behind the cabinet, her eyes fixed on the streak of light falling from the sideboard door, she listened to herself and remembered. She was in a state of remembrance.
  Sonya went into the buffet with a glass through the hall. Natasha looked at her, at the slit in the pantry door, and it seemed to her that she recalls that light was falling from the pantry door into the crevice and that Sonya passed with a glass. “Yes, and it was exactly the same,” thought Natasha. - Sonya, what is it? Natasha shouted, fingering her fingers on a thick string.
  - Ah, here you are! - startled, said Sonya, came up and listened. - I do not know. Storm? She said timidly, fearing to make a mistake.
  “Well, just like that, she started, shook her lips and timidly smiled when it already was,” thought Natasha, “and just like that ... I thought that something was missing from her.”
  - No, this is the choir from the Water-carrier, you hear! - And Natasha finished the choir’s motive to make it clear to Sonya.
  - Where did you go? - asked Natasha.
  - Change the water in the glass. I'll finish the pattern now.
  “You are always busy, but I don’t know how,” said Natasha. - And where is Nikolai?
- Sleeping, it seems.
  “Sonya, go and wake him,” said Natasha. “Tell me I'm calling him to sing.” - She sat, thought about what it means that it was all, and, without resolving this issue and not at all regretting, she again went back to her imagination by the time she was with him, and he was in love with eyes looked at her.
  “Ah, he’d come soon. I am so afraid that this will not happen! And most importantly: I'm getting old, that's what! There will no longer be what is now in me. Or maybe he will come today, now he will come. Maybe he came and sits there in the living room. Maybe he arrived just yesterday and I forgot. ” She got up, laid down her guitar and went into the living room. All homeworkers, teachers, governesses and guests were already sitting at the tea table. People stood around the table, but there was no Prince Andrei, and there was all the old life.
  “Ah, there she is,” said Ilya Andreich, seeing Natasha come in. - Well, sit down with me. - But Natasha stopped beside her mother, looking around, as if she was looking for something.
  - Mother! She said. “Give me it, give it to me, mom, rather, rather,” and again she struggled to sob.
  She sat down at the table and listened to the conversations of the elders and Nikolai, who also came to the table. "My God, my God, the same faces, the same conversations, just the same dad holds a cup and blows the same way!" thought Natasha, terrified of the disgust that rose in her against all the household because they were all the same.
  After tea, Nikolai, Sonya and Natasha went to the sofa, to their favorite corner, in which their most intimate conversations always began.

  “It happens to you,” Natasha told her brother when they sat down in the sofa, “it happens to you that it seems to you that nothing will happen - nothing; that all that was good was? And not just boring, but sad?
  - And how! - he said. - It happened to me that everything is fine, everyone is cheerful, and it will occur to me that all this is already tired and that everyone needs to die. Once I didn’t go for a walk in the regiment, and there music played ... and so I suddenly got bored ...
  “Ah, I know that.” I know, I know, - Natasha intercepted. - I was still small, as it happened to me. Remember, since I was punished for the plums and you all danced, and I sat in the classroom and sobbed, I would never forget: I was sad and sorry for everyone, and myself, and everyone for all. And, most importantly, it was not my fault, ”said Natasha,“ do you remember? ”
“I remember,” said Nikolai. - I remember that I came to you later and I wanted to console you and, you know, it was shameful. Terribly we were funny. Then I had a toy blank and I wanted to give it to you. Do you remember?
  “Do you remember,” said Natasha with a thoughtful smile, how long, long ago, we were still very young, uncle called us to the office, still in the old house, but it was dark — we came and suddenly stood there ...
  “Arap,” Nikolai finished with a joyful smile, “how not to remember?” Even now I do not know that it was arap, or we saw in a dream, or we were told.
  - He was gray, remember, and had white teeth - he stands and looks at us ...
  “Do you remember, Sonya?” - asked Nikolai ...
  “Yes, yes, I also remember something,” answered Sonya timidly ...
  “I asked Dad and Mom about this arap,” Natasha said. - They say that there was no arap. But you remember!
  “How, as I now remember his teeth.”
  - How strange it was, it was as if in a dream. I like it.
  - Do you remember how we rolled eggs in the hall and suddenly two old women, and began to spin on the carpet. Was it or not? Remember how good it was?
  - Yes. Do you remember how dad in a blue coat on the porch shot from a gun. - They smiled with pleasure, enjoying the memory, not the sad old age, but the poetic youthful memory, those impressions from the farthest past, where the dream merges with reality, and laughed quietly, rejoicing at something.
  Sonya, as always, lagged behind them, although their memories were common.
  Sonya did not remember much of what they remembered, and what she remembered did not arouse in her that poetic feeling that they experienced. She only enjoyed their joy, trying to fake it.
  She took part only when they remembered Sonya's first visit. Sonya told how she was afraid of Nikolai, because he had bumps on his jacket, and the nanny told her that she would be sewn into bumps.
  “And I remember: they told me that you were born under the cabbage,” said Natasha, “and I remember that I didn’t dare not believe it, but I knew that this was not true, and it was embarrassing for me.”
  During this conversation, the maid's head leaned out of the back door of the sofa. “The young lady brought the rooster,” the girl said in a whisper.
  “It was not necessary, Fields, to carry it,” said Natasha.
  In the middle of the conversations in the sofa, Dimmler entered the room and went to the harp, which stood in the corner. He took off the cloth and the harp made a fake sound.
“Eduard Karlych, please play my favorite Nocturiene Monsieur Field,” said the voice of the old countess from the living room.
  Dimmler took the chord and, turning to Natasha, Nikolai and Sonya, said: “Youth, how quietly sits!”
  “Yes, we philosophize,” said Natasha, looking around for a moment, and continued the conversation. The conversation was now about dreams.
  Dimmler began to play. Inaudibly, on tiptoe, Natasha went to the table, took a candle, carried it out and, returning, quietly sat down in her place. It was dark in the room, especially on the sofa on which they were sitting, but a full month of silver light fell on the floor in large windows.
  “You know, I think,” said Natasha in a whisper, moving closer to Nikolai and Sonya, when Dimmler had already finished and was sitting weakly sorting through the strings, apparently in indecision to leave or start something new, - that when you remember, remember, remember everything , to that you recall that you remember what was even before I was in the world ...
  “This is metampsikova,” said Sonya, who always studied well and remembered everything. - The Egyptians believed that our souls were in animals and will go to animals again.
  “No, you know, I don’t believe that we were in animals,” Natasha said in the same whisper, although the music ended, “but I know that we were angels somewhere here and here, and we remember everything from that ...
  “May I join you?” - said Dimmler quietly approached and sat down with them.
  - If we were angels, so why did we get lower? - said Nikolai. “No, that can't be!”

Development History - Bykhov

The first mention of Bykhov dates back to 1430. Here was one of the best people of the XVI-XVIII centuries, where the most skilled craftsmen made guns, cores, bullets and much more, without which it was simply impossible to live in Europe in the Middle Ages. At the foundry cannon workshop was the famous Bykhov arms school.

Bykhov (the regional center of the region, a city on the right bank of the Dnieper). Known as Old Bykhov according to documents from the XIV century. Bykhov was owned by the Princes of Drutsk, after which the city passed to the Gastolds. In 1542, the ownership of the magnates of the Khodkevichs (XVI century), in 1628 the owners of the city became Sapegi.

At the end of the XVI - beginning of the XVII century. Hetman of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania K. Khodkevich, and then Sapega turn Bykhov into a powerful fortress. Earthen ramparts, ditches, bastions in a half-ring closed the territory of the city, the eastern side of which overlooked the steep bank of the Dnieper. Bykhov Castle became the center of the composition of the settlement: it was located in the head place of the plan, above the Dnieper, in front of it stretched a vast area, on both sides of which residential quarters were divided on a regular basis. The square divided the territory of the city into two parts and was the parade ground for the training of soldiers of the fortress garrison. The main street ran from north to south across the square, which was closed by the Mogilev and Rogachev entrance gates-brahms.

Bykhov presented an example of a fortified city for the deployment and service of a significant magnate army. The high role of the fortified city in the battles of past eras is evidenced by history: during the war of 1648-1654. For some time the troops of F. Garkusha were besieged here (1648), during the Russo-Polish war of 1654-1667. - I. Zolotarenko, in the Northern War of 1700-1721. the fortress underwent a siege twice.

In 1662, an Austrian diplomat and traveler Meyerberg Augustine passed the city along the Dnieper River, who mentioned this event in his report.

In the XVII-XVIII centuries. there were only two monumental stone structures in the city: the feudal lord’s castle and the synagogue, all other buildings were wooden. In conditions of sieges and fires, they were destroyed. They survived with significant losses, only the castle and the synagogue. The existing Orthodox church is located far from the old architectural monuments and is not connected with them by the architectural and planning composition, which is explained by the later time of its construction (XIX century).

Bykhov's Russian military coat of arms - two crossed cannons (1781).
  At the beginning of the XVIII century Bykhov twice survived the siege. First, in 1702, during the Home War, anti-Sapeg coalition troops besieged the Sapeg stronghold, after which the city became the property of artillery general KK Sinitsky. Then, during the Northern War (1700-1721), when K. K. Sinitsky took the side of the new King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Stanislav Leshchinsky, Bykhov was after a long siege (almost a month) by the Russian army and almost all burned. For more than seven years, the Russian garrison was in Bykhov.

In the summer of 1706, Peter I traveled to Bykhov on the way to Kiev.
