At more than 1,000 years, Заслaўе is one of the oldest towns in Belarus. It was founded in 985 and has a population just over 15,000.
Dima talking about the town's history |
During the Reformation, this was a hub for Calvinists. The town's main site is the Saviour Transfiguration Church. It was built in 1577 and was the primary Calvinist church.

Our guide today was Dima. He studied in Prague for a couple of years so I actually got to speak Czech today. I think it really confused some of the Russian tourists today why the Belarusian guide and the American were speaking Czech. I have to say, it did feel good to be able to speak it.
