An interesting sculpture. The warrior with the key. It is located in the "event center". Nearby is the departure point for all excursions, the cathedral, a bench playing Aginsky's polonaise and a carriage composition. Mimi, don't come through. It actually looks beautiful, stylish and powerful.

The city center, here at the monument to "Voit" began a tour of the old city of Minsk. In 2014, a monument "Voight with a Key" was erected opposite the main entrance to the Minsk City Hall, dedicated to the acquisition of the Minsk Magdeburg Law. The sculpture depicts a bronze voight, the head of the magistrate, who holds in his hands the symbolic key to the city and the royal charter for the Magdeburg law granted to Minsk in 1499. At his feet is a 16th-century plan of Minsk, which shows a defensive wall, a castle and key religious ensembles of that time. People say that if you have an unsolvable problem, especially related to real estate or property, you need to hold on to the key and there will be a solution to the problem, and perhaps you will get an apartment in Minsk)

Two sculptures in the city center were installed simultaneously, in 2014. The monument to Magdeburg law, the "city scales" and this monument to the head of the city, Voight, were named after 1499. As a result, this monument is also a monument to Magdeburg law, which came to the city in 1499. It was according to this right that the head of the city, the mayor, the main official in cities based on Magdeburg law, became so called, gaining enormous real power in the city. And the man who became a poet, judging by the sculpture, is not at all confused by the position that has fallen on him. Although why did it fall down? Maybe he sought it and got it in a fierce struggle! Voight stands over a mock-up map of Minsk at that time and, deep in thought, reflects on the fate of the city (probably) and builds grandiose plans for its transformation. I'd like to think so.
