House officers

The Central House of Officers on Krasnoarmeyskaya Street, 3, is one of the most iconic architectural landmarks in Minsk. Built between 1934 and 1939 under the guidance of architect Iosif Langbard, it is a unique example of reconstruction. Initially, the site housed the Pokrovskaya (Cross) Church of the former Archbishop's residence, but after its reconstruction, the building became an important cultural and educational center.

Today, the Central House of Officers serves multiple purposes. It houses the Army Ideological Work Center, a cultural and methodological center, a library with a collection of over 120,000 books, the Academic Song and Dance Ensemble, a drama theater, a studio for military artists, and foreign language courses.
