Zaosie – the birthplace of Adam Mickiewicz

Zaosie is one of the most famous places in Belarus, attracting tourists from all over the world. It is here that Adam Mickiewicz, one of the greatest literary geniuses, was born and spent his happy years. Excursions across Belarus, including a visit to Zaosie, allow visitors to immerse themselves in the poet’s era and see the places that inspired his works.

The history of the Zaosie estate

The first mentions of Zaosie date back to 1775. At that time, nobleman Jozef Mickiewicz, a relative of the great poet, won a court case that granted him ownership of the Zaosie estate. However, the family could only settle there three years later, after lengthy legal disputes.

The Adam Mickiewicz Museum-Estate

In 1998, a museum was opened in Zaosie, recreating the atmosphere of an 18th-century noble estate. Visitors can see wooden buildings with thatched roofs, the main single-story house, a bathhouse, a barn, a well, as well as well-kept flowerbeds and picturesque groves. This corner of Belarus preserves the spirit of the past and allows travelers to connect with history.

Excursions to Zaosie – a journey into Mickiewicz’s era

The Zaosie estate warmly welcomes visitors, and museum excursions are based on the poem "Pan Tadeusz." The museum carefully preserves original items from that period, allowing guests to experience the atmosphere of an old noble house. An excursion from Minsk to Zaosie is a great opportunity to book a tour and embark on an exciting journey following the footsteps of the great poet.
