A very interesting old place. They would put up some kind of safe-deposit box and everyone could donate any money for restoration. And the process would go on. As it is, all the remnants of the former greatness of the complex will soon sink into oblivion and only photos will remain for posterity....
A good place to get acquainted with the history of the region. And in good weather, it's a great place to walk

An interesting tourist destination that is not ready for tourists. A place with a rich history. There is only one gate from the monastery. There are signs not to walk, collapses are possible, it is a pity that the authorities are not engaged in restoration. This place has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, graffiti is everywhere and teenagers who have found a secluded place to drink here. Despite some disadvantages, the place is interesting to touch the history.
THE MONASTERY OF THE CARTHUSIANS - Bereza, Brest region, RB.
In 1617, the Birch became the property of the Chancellor of the Republic of Lithuania Lev Sapieha, and after his death passed to his sons – first to Jan, and then to Kazimir. It was thanks to Kazimir that the monastery appeared in the city. In 1648, a large-scale construction was launched. The work lasted for almost 40 years. The monastery in Bereza was the only Carthusian monastery on the territory of the INCL. The charter of this order is considered to be almost the most stringent among all other Catholic ones.
After the uprising of 1831, the monastery was closed, and the monks were expelled from the country. The cells housed the headquarters of the Russian infantry regiment, and the church became a parish church. After 1864, the monastery building was dismantled into bricks, which were later used to build barracks for soldiers.
In 1915, what was left of the monastery burned down in a fire. Since then, the ruins have been gradually destroyed. Only the temple, the belfry tower at the church, the hospital building and part of the wall from one of the corner towers survived, but even this is impressive in its scale.
A place of pilgrimage for Poles and Germans. Once there was a huge Carthusian monastery. In the 17th century, a ton of gold was spent on construction. Hundreds of thousands of red bricks. When the monastery buildings were ravaged in the 19th century, red barracks and 33 more houses were built from the resulting bricks throughout the city. There are many passages and traps underground. Wherever you dig, there's an underground tunnel. The red brick land holds many secrets. Somewhere in the Polish and German archives there are secrets of interesting content.
It was the coolest place in the past. It is now heavily destroyed and neglected. In general, it is interesting to watch.
But it's better with a guide or Wikipedia)
It's a beautiful place. It is very old and in disrepair. Only the gate has been restored, the rest leaves much to be desired, as well as the only tower. There is an entrance to the basement on the territory, but we decided not to enter without suitable equipment.
The place is beautiful, but like many attractions it is not very well maintained, when we were there last time the grass was waist-high, it was problematic to walk and explore everything
The scope of what was built in ancient times is impressive, how it was built and functioned is amazing. Nowadays, barracks were built from the bricks of the monastery, you can also see
A beautiful and impressive place. The scale is impressive, as well as the depressing decadent state. Everything is being destroyed, so it's worth visiting in time.
It is beautiful and the size is impressive, this is my opinion, but the condition and what remains is depressing (although there is a sign that is protected). Entry is prohibited, but there are many passageways besides the main arch.
An interesting and photogenic place with a great history. Before visiting, to enhance the effect, I recommend reading about this object on the Internet.
The ruins are impressive, but everything is in terrible condition. They become more ruins because of neglect. Nobody cares. Everything self-destructs and gets pulled apart brick by brick. no one supports or preserves it. Sorry.
The place is very picturesque and suggestive. Although I would strongly advise against walking through the ruins themselves: it is dangerous. Almost in front of the entrance, at the entrance of the military unit there is a large gazebo - you can relax and have a snack.
