The remains of a once magnificent building. The reconstruction was purely nominal (more like a budget cut). If you are passing through the city, it is definitely worth visiting, but before that, be sure to read the history and see archival photos of "how it was originally", before it was dismantled. Without this information, it's just a pile of bricks.
What remains is, in fact, part of the wall with a side entrance (brama) and part of the tower, previously adjacent to the mansion. I will attach a photo, there is a brahma visible on it from the bottom left.

The belfry tower in the Birch is a unique architectural monument of the XIII century, which is one of the oldest structures in Belarus. The height of the tower is 32 meters, the thickness of the walls is 2 meters. A visit to the belfry tower left an indelible impression. The belfry tower has no analogues in Belarus.
The majestic structure, or rather the remains, still feels the greatness of the Carthusian Order, underground passages, red bricks and a frightening unknown. The place is protected by law, you can only walk and turn on your imagination, but before that, read the history.
