Many thanks to the staff of the complex. The tour was conducted perfectly, the guide told the story expressively and touchingly. Moreover, employees promptly answer questions on social networks, consult on the phone on how best to get there, and even call back themselves when they see missed calls. I am very pleased with this attitude, thank you.

55 km from Minsk, it's like you're in a special place, unlike Belarus. Beautiful nature at the entrance to the village itself. There were a lot of people, cars and tourist buses, despite this unusual silence, only once every 30 seconds the bell rings. It's a tradition in memory of the dead. We took a guided tour on the street, a small group and a girl guide, interestingly told us about all the horrors that were here during the war. There is a small church on the territory, we went in , put candles. A museum with an audio guide, you can go and listen, we didn't take it anymore, it was enough. There is a cafe next to the parking lot, but with the influx of people it is impossible to get there , there is a queue. To pay tribute to the memory of the fallen civilians and to learn more about the history of our country so that the children would know and continue. I recommend you to visit

I really liked it. Goosebumps all over my body. Be sure to visit this place. Show your children and grandchildren that they honor their ancestors for their happy lives. One disadvantage is that the museum staff at the ticket office does not want to give information about the tour. They were chased from one building to another, as if they didn't know that a tour guide needed to be booked in advance. But they have an audio guide. But a real person will tell you better.

It's an amazing place! Be sure to take a guided tour of the museum! There are so many interesting facts from the past and the amazing, well-thought-out place itself, which they will tell you about. It's creepy to think what happened there. But a lot of people should know and remember this! A must-visit!

The museum complex is recommended for everyone to visit. The museum itself is open until 17-00. The memorial complex is open around the clock. There is a large parking lot (anyone with their own car). If you travel from Minsk, it is better to make this visit in the morning so that you do not get into traffic jams at the entrance to the city in the evening. A ticket to the museum costs 6 BYN. Those who do not know the history of Khatyn, I recommend first a museum, then a memorial (without immersion in history there will be no worries, rage inside and tears of sympathy). If you know the fate of the village well, you can skip the museum. As soon as you see the statue, everyone has a personal story...

Why are Belarusians my fraternal people? Yes, because being in their republic, especially in Khatyn, you can see how carefully they treat the historical truth about the last war and the horrors that the Nazis and their henchmen committed on Belarusian soil! I drove through the places where the partisans fought heroically.And there are monuments, obelisks, and excursions to partisan museums for them. Well done, Belarusians, they preserve the historical truth and bring it to the younger generation.

Disgusting attitude towards the guests. We bought a ticket for self-examination. We started walking through the halls, followed by a group with an excursion. We stayed in the first hall for a while and the group walked around us, closing the door to the second hall in front of us. At first we didn't understand what it was, but we moved on. While watching Hall 2 (we weren't talking, if anything, we were just photographing the exhibits), someone from the group's phone rang, the guide turned to us and, with a displeased face and aggression, told us to leave the hall, because we were buying a self-guided tour. I ask again in disbelief, and in response, they reply with a raised tone that since we have an independent inspection, we can look at other halls, but not be near her, despite the fact that other people came into the hall and did not say anything to them. This is the first time I've seen such a biased attitude, despite the fact that there were people who talked loudly and didn't say anything to them. In general, if it hadn't been for this incident, there would have been more stars, but as it was, the mood was spoiled, thank you.

A memorial complex telling about the atrocities of the Nazi invaders on the territory of Belarus in general and in the village of Khatyn in particular. I highly recommend visiting with a guided tour. The complex is well maintained, clean, in excellent condition. Every detail makes you think and feel the heavy atmosphere of the war years and the period of occupation.

Khatyn is mandatory to visit. We took a guided tour of the Complex. Wonderful guide Alina led her very soulfully, interestingly. We did not take an excursion to the museum (we did not have time In time), but in vain. 6 halls each behind a new door. Each room has a screen that tells about the tragedy of the war. And one hall is the lightest - peaceful life. It's worth seeing! They tell children not to, I disagree. This is history and memory, and if we remember and pass on to the younger generations, so we do not forget about the feat of our people.

It is not far from Minsk to this memorable place (30-40 minutes). This complex was created as a reminder of all the burned villages during the Second World War. The guides tell me that there is a lump in my throat, tears come to my eyes. A monument to the unconquered man greets everyone. 26 houses have been recreated on the territory - these are chimneys, the bell on which strikes every 30 minutes. There is also a memorial to the victims of concentration camps. Of course, it's hard to stay there, but you need to visit in order to remember.

An excellent memorial complex. I advise everyone to visit, but not just to walk, but with an excursion. We came across a very cool guide, an expert on the topic, a person who is deeply immersed in the question. The guide had an answer to any questions right away. I didn't remember her name, but without a doubt she's the boss and the best there. Thank you for the wonderful tour.

It was a difficult tour, difficult feelings and emotions, but I wanted to visit here, to honor the memory of the inhabitants of Khatyn. A tragedy that has no statute of limitations; crimes of fascism that must not be forgotten! I was shocked by the number of children, innocent children from birth to 15 years old…It's scary... you can 't let Nazism and fascism raise their heads! No one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten! Happy Victory Day!!!

The memorial complex, where listening to the difficult history of this place, the heart "freezes" with grief. In Khatyn, in Belarus, One heart for 149 hearts sounds. They were burned and tortured here. People who did not expect war. With a piercing rhythm The common heart sounds, He urges people to remember the war. It screams and moans... people remember, at the cost of how many lives, Victory in the war has come. Don't forget about the dead, Those who gave their lives for those who live now...

My grandfather is from the village of Mikheevichi, Mogilev region. After the war, they lived in dugouts until they built new houses. I came to Khatyn by accident, but the deep shock I experienced at this holy place has been etched into my memory forever. I am from Smolensk, and my countrymen suffered no less grief during the war, but still Khatyn rises and stands like a huge memorial cross of long-suffering Belarus.

I believe that this place should be visited by everyone who remembers and honors the history of their people and ancestors. It's very quiet there, and only the bells on the memorials, which symbolize the burned huts, ring every 30 seconds. On the site of each house there is a memorial-a stele on which there is a plaque with the names of those who lived in the house. At their foot are children's toys that people bring. There were many children in the families.. The monument "The Unconquered Man", the eternal flame, the cemetery of burned and destroyed villages, the very atmosphere of this place makes you remember once again. It takes 40 minutes by car from Minsk, there is a huge parking lot, cafes, toilets, a souvenir shop on the territory.

The complex itself is very atmospheric and soulful, but the tour is not about anything at all, it is conducted by teenagers, as if they are answering a poorly learned topic at the blackboard. There is very little information. At the same time, this is the most expensive excursion in Belarus. There are two of us: 30p in the museum and 23 in the territory. Plus 2 museum tickets for 8p.

On September 19, together with students of grades 8-10, they visited a sacred place for Belarusians - the Khatyn Memorial Complex. I was there a long time ago. I've heard about the renovation and the new museum. Now I saw it with my own eyes. What I saw shocked both adults and children! We listened very carefully. We passed through the territory of the former village. They put flowers at the monuments. Then we visited the museum's exposition. There are 6 halls, and the impression is huge! Time, horror and pain are very specifically conveyed. No one was left indifferent. I was very impressed with the hall, made like a burning barn, in which you suddenly found yourself! And the bloody stream... The whole history of long-suffering Belarus immediately came to life. Many thanks to the authors. Thanks to the guide Zarina.

We were in Khatyn on our own, without an excursion. But the tour is optional there, and so everything is clear. Then we went to the new museum. The museum is wonderful. There is something to see, the original presentation of the material. But! At the same time, an excursion took place nearby. The room is small and the guide kept asking us to move away. We didn't understand, should we run away or close our ears and eyes? So then we tried to stay longer in the previous hall so as not to run into them, and then we returned to the hall from which she asked us to leave)))) It's kind of unpleasant. It seems like we bought tickets, but we can't watch, we need to hide away from excursions)))

05/31.24 the family came to the sanatorium for a vacation, planned a trip to Minsk with a stop in Khatyn. The complex is decorated in black tones, there are signs, signs with explanations, but the strongest impression is made by a black sculpture of a blacksmith with a dying son in his arms... first we went to the museum, because for the first time here, we asked the female administrator where to buy tickets and how to get into the hall, she was struck by her inhospitality, answered questions on the verge of rudeness, the inspection of the halls goes in a circle, but when we entered the first semi-dark hall, we did not see the door, we asked again, the administrator pointed to she said in an edifying tone, "I told you that you need to go in a circle, but you don't listen," a few minutes later, schoolchildren with a guide entered the hall, all the halls went with them, visitors were not allowed to go to the toilet in the museum building, the woman administrator said to us again in a rude form, "for you toilets on the street!!!" - we found it ourselves by following the signs... The place is difficult, but it is a part of our history that needs to be known and remembered.... I am removing the star only because of the inappropriate behavior of the museum administrator.

We spent only 3 days in Minsk, we decided that it was worth visiting this tragic place, getting acquainted with its history, visiting the memorial complex, museum. It is only an hour's drive from Minsk. To our deep disappointment, we faced difficulties and misunderstandings. It all started with the fact that you can't pay with a card. Only cash, which we don't have with us, yes, maybe this is our problem, but the complex is modern and it was a surprise for us to face this problem. But the main disappointment came with the fact that we were denied a visit with a dog. We travel a lot, and the only place where we encountered such an attitude was Dagestan. There it is justified by religion and in someone else's monastery, as they say. But the refusal to visit an open complex (!) is just on the street, we have encountered this for the first time in our entire life. We were threatened with fines and police. To which we simply turned around and left in a deep reminder of what a well-mannered dog, if necessary, moved in a backpack, can harm the complex or offend someone's feelings. I am sure that the residents of Khatyn had pets, dogs, cattle, why it is not clear to us. There were no signs anywhere that dogs are forbidden, neither on the spot, nor on the website, nor in the description. This is the first and hopefully the only disappointment from Belarus and we got it in this complex. Archaic rules and ill-will of the staff, as for me, offend the memory of this place much more than the unreasonable theoretical damage from visiting this place with a well-bred pet.

The furnaces of the houses have been preserved , a memorial complex has been made . Clean , no specks , birches all around . You can visit just like that or buy an excursion. We didn 't make it , because we arrived late . They work until about 5 pm . After that, explore for yourself)

If you are traveling in Belarus, then you definitely need to visit this place, and of course show it, tell the younger generation. A memorial to the events of 1943, when an entire village was burned down in response to the murder of a German captain by partisans by the SS Sonderkommando. More than 70 children died alone. The man who led the burning of the village in 1945 was captured by the French and beaten to death by them. At the very beginning there is a sculpture of a surviving blacksmith holding his son, who died from wounds on his hands. To the right of the sculpture is the crown of memory, there was a barn where people were burned. On the left is a mass grave. There are 26 "chimneys" around, concrete monuments on the site of houses that once stood. There are three birch trees and a slab near the eternal flame, symbolizing that every fourth resident of Belarus died during the war.

We visited the memorial complex on 05/11/2024. Well-maintained territory, an interesting interactive museum, there are excursions. I'm lowering my rating due to the fact that we were actually kicked out of the museum half an hour after entering, because an excursion from the Ministry of Culture arrived. Warnings that we didn't have much time for inspection, we didn't have time to look at everything and left with an unpleasant aftertaste. This is not a very nice act on the part of the museum staff!!

While in Minsk, we were thinking about what sights to visit in the district, my husband suggested such a great place as Khatyn. First of all, we went to the museum. There is a small souvenir shop at the checkout, both with symbols of the land of Khatyn and just Belarusians. We bought ourselves a small bison. Ticket prices are quite reasonable, 6 rubles per adult. We were very impressed by the interactive exposition. An employee of one of the halls kindly told us some details from the story, although we did not take the tour, for which we thank her very much. I came out of the museum with goosebumps and tears in my eyes, so I advise you to visit. After the museum, we walked through the territory of the memorial complex, looked at the main parts of the memorial. The obelisks on the sites of each of the houses that were burned down by the Nazis on that ill-fated day made a great impression. In such places, you begin to rethink your life. Despite the fact that Khatyn is a mournful place, it is something that should not be forgotten, and that should live in the hearts of people, so I recommend visiting this memorial to everyone!!!

A glorious place of heroic memory. Belarusians are great! It is necessary to preserve the memorial as not only a tribute to memory, but also as a history lesson for future generations. It is on such examples that a real understanding of the world, patriotism and valor are brought up. Be sure to take your children on a field trip. No school program is as effective as visiting a memorial.
