Save every brick and give historic objects a second life. In Grodno, the buildings of a 19th-century brewery are to be transformed into a multifunctional complex.

The object is of historical and cultural value, located in the very heart of the city – on the bank of the Neman River. More than six thousand square meters have been long abandoned and waiting for reconstruction. Here, everything has been carefully cleaned, restored, and completed. Where possible, the old brickwork and elements of even earlier construction – the palace of the Oginski family – have been preserved. Plans include the placement of 16 restaurants, an interactive museum, shops, a business center, and in the old cellars – art spaces. As a reminder of the past, a mini-brewery will even open.

Alexander Zaglubotsky, deputy director of the customer company for the construction: Currently, the complex is planned to consist of three separate buildings, plus a fourth building – which will be a hotel complex, but that is the second phase of construction. In October, we plan to occupy the site, to move onto the construction site.

Andrey Khmel, chairman of the Grodno City Executive Committee: And the involvement of this entire complex in the reconstruction of the embankment. A large, beautiful staircase will descend, which will flow into the embankment, which we will also reconstruct by the city's anniversary in two years. And we are sure that a very significant place, with no analogues in Belarus, will open. For us, this is a big event, and we are very much looking forward to it.

All major construction work for the first phase is expected to be completed by the end of this year. And already in the beginning of next year, the cafes and restaurants of the complex will welcome guests. Interest in the spaces is being shown by businessmen from Belarus, Russia, and Uzbekistan.
