A beautiful place)
From here, excursions began from a tour agency located nearby (I did not remember the name)
At 12 o'clock every day (I do not know about the weekend), a theatrical performance is held, in which residents of the city and tourists are involved. I was present once, so I don't know if the performances are repeated or if they are different.

I give a low assessment to this work not for the artistic part, but for the nationalist pro-Polish narratives. Polish nobles were appointed/"elected" as voits - this was done by the king. Belarusians were not among them.
There are also no sculptures of city officials in Minsk and other cities, so what should Poles do in them? Do you mean that these are Polish lands?

Upper town. A complex with many architectural forms, sculptures and cafes. A beautiful vacation spot and a tourism center in Minsk. It is located at Nemiga metro station.

Briefly about the main thing:
"The head of the Minsk magistrate (voit [the position was hereditary, but eventually became elective]) holds in one hand a certificate granting Magdeburg law ["... granted the city the right to self—government and its own court, the right to land ownership and exemption from most feudal duties"], in the other - the key to the town hall."
And now where can I get my release?!

The head of the Minsk magistrate (Voit) holds in one hand a certificate of the grant of Magdeburg law, in the other — the key to the town hall.
A wonderful sculpture in front of the town hall!
We really like it!

A colorful character. It looks good on the square, but probably little known except to Belarusians and historians. If only they would put a monument to some famous person on a pedestal here and the square would lose its intimacy and the monument would attract attention to itself . As it is, this is the mayor on earth and the main buildings on the square are historical buildings.

Interesting sculpture. A meeting place for various excursions and any meetings in general. In Minsk, many people know where they are and therefore you can easily make an appointment here. The sculpture itself is modern, opened in 2014. In his hands is the key to the city.

For a few days, to celebrate the New Year 2024, we came to Belarus, now dear to our hearts. I really enjoyed my stay in Minsk. This is a special topic. And the Voight sculpture with a key, located in the city center, is one of the many pearls of the Upper City, and Minsk as a whole.

An interesting sculpture in front of the Town Hall. Many tourists, and Minsk residents themselves like to rub the key for good luck. An ancient map of Minsk lies at the foot of the sculpture. I recommend visiting this place in the morning, then the sun shines on the sculpture, not behind it!

It's a good sculpture.
By the way, on some days, a smart guy climbs out of the balcony of the Town Hall and gives a performance. It's like he's the holder of that very key.
Very impressive and cool!
He says something into the microphone.
Few people know.
Ask around. It's a good show. For children, including

The sculpture is dedicated to Magdeburg law in Belarus - the city's right to self-government.And Voight is the mayor of the city with a big key to the gates of the city, because cities were often fortresses on earthen ramparts at that time.

OLD VOIGHT, the head of the magistrate, MADE A CHECK AFTER RECEIVING THE MAGDEBURG CERTIFICATE. IN EXCHANGE FOR THE KEYS TO MINSK. And now he is looking at the map of the city at his own feet. In unspoken doubt whether he had made a mistake. (In order not to confuse historians, this is our version). And that's very relevant, right on the spiteful day. And many of the current residents, in an ever-unfolding superstition, rub the ancient city head for this very key. So that at least something breaks off for them. At least the same keys (as one famous character used to say) "from the apartment where the money lies." Shall we spend some time together? What if?
