Photos of the Day for March 29, 2015

Historic house covered in plastic siding.  House owners face high maintenance and restoration costs.  There is also a lack of master restorers in Belarus.  One thus understands that some owners of historic buildings decide to use modern materials.  However, it is regrettable that, as a result, fine examples of Belarus’s architectural patrimony, whether or not on the official register of protected buildings, lose their character.

On the other hand, Rubjazhevichy is blessed with a fine early 20th-century church, well maintained by an active parish.
