The complex of the Jesuit collegium and the church occupied a central place in the ensemble of the historical center. The Collegium building was built in the middle of the 17th century. It has a long facade facing Lenin Square (formerly Shopping Square), and a short facade facing the river. The corner of the building is fixed by a massive hexagonal residential tower, which was a kind of buttress and, obviously, carried defensive functions if necessary. Numerous office and living quarters, traditional for buildings of this type, were assembled on three floors of the collegium. The architecture of the facades shows Renaissance features (in the decoration of windows and paneling) and Baroque (in the roof with a figured pediment and volute finials). The Collegium building is well preserved, and currently houses administrative and public organizations.
The Jesuit Church (1635) was burned down during the last war and dismantled during the reconstruction of the central square of the city. In the past, it closed the perspective of the main street of Pinsk and was the center of the old part of the city. The architecture of the Baroque church was characterized by an elegant appearance: the side extensions of the main part ended with semicircles of walls with arched openings.
A great museum with a lot of unexpected exhibits.
We spent 2 hours inside, stopping at some things.
All the halls are interesting, the sarcophagus was especially impressed.
You can take a couple of funny photos in the fauna hall.
The ticket for an adult is only 4 rubles.
A beautiful place, there are many shops nearby where you can sit relax and chat with friends, clean, neat, and marginal personalities are not particularly observed.
The Polesie Museum is located in the building, there is a fairly wide exposition on various topics, including various historical events in the life of Polesie, the fauna of Polesie and images of residents. The passage to the exposition is cheap (2 rubles for a student upon presentation of a ticket). The building itself has excellent acoustics, preserved architectural appearance from that ancient time, only the clock, which does not fit into the overall concept, saddens outwardly. There doesn't seem to be an entrance for the disabled
Interesting architecture. It's straight European. The museum is also beautiful. Such a "lamp". It's like I've returned to the Soviet Union. And the coolest thing is, there are paintings by Shishkin, Aivazovsky and other famous artists. IN THE ORIGINAL!
Five stars to the architects of the XVII century and thanks to the local authorities for saving it. When I walk around, I imagine myself as a student of the Middle Ages. It's scary, but we're everywhere anyway. Actually, it's boring here. A run-down museum, nomadic naphthalene exhibitions, employees smoking on the doorstep.
The history is huge, the guides are excellent-professional, spacious halls, silence, as if you are plunging into the past. And the building is beautiful and clean.
It is very impressive in its size, especially when you realize that the building is more than 300 years old! The museum of the Belarusian Polesie is located inside. I recommend you to visit!
A deserted city, although more than 100 thousand people live there.. But! Hasidim , Pinchuk , poleshane, Kosciusko pedestrian street, Kosciel... Collegium, where the best museum in Belarus is!!
Interesting, informative, useful for all ages. I advise you to visit.

Interestingly, there is also a choreographic school in the museum. You can study subjects, get grades and perform on stage like a real ballerina and play the piano fashionably
A historical place. It is very popular among tourists. Guests from other cities, and even more so from countries, will be interested in the history of the collegium.
I liked the exhibits, but I did not like the guide's story, he did not exist at all and only a smirk answered many questions, the guide was not prepared at all!!!
