Over
Korte feiten: It stands in the town of Nesvizh in memory of the writer and printer Symon Budny. Budny was a 16th-century humanist who published Bible translations and contributed to the development of the Belarusian literary language.
Hoogtepunten: The monument depicts Budny in a seated pose, as if reflecting on his radical ideas that at the time brought him into conflict with both the Catholic and Orthodox churches. Under the sculptor's hand is a book, referring to his translation work and his desire to make knowledge accessible to the common people.
Insidertips
- Combine the visit with a walk through the old town and park of Nesvizh.
- You can soak up the local atmosphere at a street café near the park.
- It is worth bringing a camera: the historic town setting creates beautiful shots.
- In winter, the sculpture may be covered in snow, which gives it a completely different look.
