Orsha ethnographic museum ”Mill”
Water and wind - it was the main source of energy until the appearance of electric motors. And water mills are the most important industrial enterprises of cities. Because of the uselessness of most mills, only ruins remained, but not in Orsha. The majestic structure of red brick is once the most profitable enterprise in the entire Mogilev province. They believe that the building was sprinkled with blood - hence such high income. And now in the walls of the ancient mill, Ethnographic Complex «Mill» operates - its life continues to gain momentum. -
The memorial complex «Katyusha»
In the history of the Great Patriotic War, Orsha entered as a city where the first salvo of Katyusha was held. It lasted 8 seconds, but it was enough for the railway station with the German echelons to be completely engulfed by the flames. The power of explosions turned even locomotives, and 10-ton German tanks hurled like toy cubes. The memorial complex «Katyusha» was created in memory of the heroic act of the soldiers and their commander, who died while performing the combat mission. -
