Five reasons to visit Borisov
1. Enter the manor house of a millionaire and collector - Borisov landowner Ivan Kolodeev

Nowadays the house houses several exhibitions. Qualified guides will tell you about the difficult vicissitudes of the Napoleonic army crossing the Berezina.

On the same square in the Old Town, you can take a photo at the house of Aunt Seina, under whose tutelage at the beginning of the 20th century six representatives of the ancient profession quite officially worked. In the neighboring house later there was a revolutionary committee, a district police force, and also the editorial office of Izvestia of the Borisov Council of Deputies.” The newspaper was edited by Borisov dentist David Rosenblum, who arrived from Swiss emigration in the same sealed carriage with Vladimir Lenin. None memorial plaques on these historical buildings, alas, not yet, but if you ask, they will show you.

5. For lovers of paranormal phenomena, there is a reason to carefully walk along Baturin Street without attracting attention.
Here is a private mansion in which, in the summer of 1988, according to the official report of the head of the Borisov police, Colonel Shibalko, a real poltergeist was recorded. Over the course of several days, the house was visited in addition to large group law enforcement officers, the head of the propaganda and agitation department of the Minsk regional committee of the Communist Party of Belarus, together with the secretary of the Borisov city committee, as well as representatives of the Academy of Sciences.

Story
According to the Russian historian Vasily Tatishchev, in 1102 “Boris Vseslavovich of Polotsk went to the Yatvingians, and having defeated them, and returning, he built the city of Borisov in his own name and populated it with people.” Although the first reliable mention of the city as a fortress of the Principality of Polotsk in the Laurentian Chronicle dates back to 1127, from light hand Tatishchev, the year 1102 became the generally accepted date for the founding of the city.
At the end of the 13th century, Borisov became part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In 1563, he received Magdeburg Law from Grand Duke Sigismund, which freed residents from feudal obligations and gave them the right to self-government. On August 10, 1565, the city was granted a coat of arms: on a silver field there is a gate with two towers, above which is an image of St. Peter with keys. From 1569 until the end of the 18th century, Borisov was located within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In 1793, the city acquired the status of one of the district centers of the Russian Empire.
During its existence, Borisov was repeatedly destroyed by conquerors from both the West and the East. In June 1655, the city was captured and burned by the troops of the Moscow state. In November 1812, the French and Russian troops, and not far from Borisov the famous Berezinsky crossing of Napoleon’s army took place. French Emperor on the eve of it I spent a day in a city that has entered the historical chronicles of many European countries. Hitler did not escape Borisov either. In August 1941, the Fuhrer flew here twice for meetings with the command of Army Group Center, at which plans for an attack on Moscow were discussed. After the liberation by Soviet troops in July 1944, the city had to be rebuilt from ruins.
The rapid growth of the city's industry and population began in the second half of the 19th century, when the Moscow-Brest Railway passed through it. Borisov found himself at the intersection of two transport arteries, water and railway. It continued to grow and develop until the end of the 20th century, becoming the most big city and the industrial center of the Minsk region.
What to see
Despite the centuries-old history, due to the hard times of war, practically no ancient architectural monuments have been preserved, and, nevertheless, there are many sights in Borisov that are worth seeing. The oldest stone building in the city is the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose construction was completed in 1823. Local historians believe that the wooden Old Believer Church of the Intercession is even older and was built in the 18th century.
Visitors to the city are usually interested in the "Batteries" - the impressive remains of the bridgehead, which began to be erected on the eve of Napoleon's invasion in 1811. In 1926, a decision was made to recognize the Batteries as a historical monument.
As is typical throughout Belarus, churches of different faiths in Borsov peacefully coexist with each other. Almost opposite the church is the building of what was once the largest synagogue in Borisov, which has now lost its religious purpose. A little further, in the center market square, which is surrounded by brick shopping arcades built on turn of the 19th century and XX centuries, the Cathedral of the Holy Resurrection rises. It was erected in pseudo-Russian style in 1876 on the site of a burnt wooden church. Not far from the railway station stands one of the two hyperboloid water towers remaining in Belarus, built in 1927 according to the design of engineer Shukhov. Today there are only eleven of them in the world.
Another striking attraction of the city is relatively young. This is the Borisov Arena football stadium; the first match was played here in May 2014. The stadium was designed by Slovenian architects and resembles a landing "flying saucer" from a science fiction film.
The BATE football team made Borisov famous in modern Europe. However, we should not forget about the plant that gave its name to the football club - the Borisov Automotive and Tractor Electrical Equipment Plant was the largest enterprise in its industry during the USSR. In addition to BATE, there are about forty industrial enterprises in the city that have a long history. These are factories of medical preparations, plastic products, “Avtogidrousilitel”, “Ekran”, “Polimiz”, “Lesohimik” and others. After gaining independence, several successful production projects were also implemented practically from scratch. For example, the KAMAKO joint venture, which produces mayonnaise and ketchup familiar to every housewife, as well as the Pozhsnab plant, which produces special automotive equipment for Belarusian and Russian rescuers.
In the Borisov Central Regional Library named after Ivan Kolodeev, international Kolodeev Readings are held annually at the end of November. Researchers from Belarus, Russia and France give reports and messages on the topic of the War of 1812.
As a rule, at the same time every year in Borisov at the “Batteries”, uniformists from military-historical clubs of various European countries conduct a reconstruction of the battle between units Russian army, commanded by the Frenchman Karl Lambert and Napoleonic, led by a native of Poland, Jan Dombrowski. During the bloody and fierce battle, General Lambert was seriously wounded and died a few days later. However, his subordinates completed the task: the Russians managed to knock out the soldiers of the Great Army from the bridgehead, forcing them to retreat to the left bank of the Berezina.

Transport links between Minsk and Borisov are very convenient. The most budget option is regional economy class trains.

The disadvantage of this option is that only seven electric trains depart per day in the direction of Borisov, respectively, the same number back. Business class trains are more comfortable, but the ticket costs more than twice as much. They will take you to Borisov in less than an hour. You can quickly and relatively comfortably get from the capital to Borisov by railway passing trains of international lines, if there are free seats.
Still, the most popular communication options are minibuses and buses.
