A beautiful windmill. The mill was built of red brick on the bank of an artificial moat connecting Orshitsa with the Dnieper River in 1902 in the neo-Gothic style with elements of pseudo-Russian style. At the same time, a single-span arch bridge was built across the moat. For a long time it was used as a warehouse, and in 1992 it was transferred to the Department of culture. Since then, an ethnographic museum has been located here. In its exposition, you can get acquainted with the household culture of the inhabitants of the region, handicrafts. This is one of the most important places in Orsha that is worth a visit.

The exposition is not very large, there are two halls on the 1st and 2nd floor. But! Be sure to take a guided tour. You will learn a very interesting life story of our ancestors. At the same time, the guide tells you about each exhibit. I am delighted with the tour! When he came out, the mill was perceived in a completely different way

I really liked the museum, the content is good, you can see that it was done with a soul. The tour was conducted by a young man, it was interesting to listen and ask questions, to speculate together. Slightly overshadowed by the presence of a female tour guide, who was arguing with the group's guides in the lobby.
