The artistic attraction of Baranovichi is the mosaic decorations in the interior of the Pokrovsky Cathedral, built in 1931 in the forms of neoclassicism. They are placed outside on the pediments and in the interior (seven compositions in total).
The history of mosaic decorations is as follows. At the end of the 19th century, the Alexander Nevsky Orthodox Cathedral was built in Warsaw according to the design of the famous Russian architect L. Benois. It was decorated with mosaic compositions made in 1901-11 according to sketches by V. Vasnetsov, N. Bruni, N. Koshelev and V. Dumitrashko.
In the early 1920s, by order of the Polish authorities, the cathedral in Warsaw was demolished. A part of the finished polished mosaic was transported to Baranovichi. These mosaic canvases were used to decorate the Pokrovsky Cathedral.
