The history of Lida is closely connected with its main historical landmark - the castle. He was part of the chain of fortresses by which Grand Duchy of Lithuania fenced off from the knightly host. Vilno, Troki, Coppersmiths, Krevo, Grodno, Novogrudok and, finally, Lida: why not a route for an exciting journey deep into history?

Lida Is that a modern female name, isn't it? A romantic legend about a beautiful girl, after whom the city was named, immediately emerges in the imagination. But everything is much more prosaic. As always, there are several versions of the origin of the city's name.

According to the first of them, after the melting of the last glacier, representatives of one of the many Finno-Ugric tribes, who called themselves Luud, lived in this area. Some residents of Karelia still call themselves that. The ending "a" in the word Lida indicates that the settlement was founded on the river bank.

According to another version, the name comes from the Lithuanian word "lidimas" - felling, a place freed from the forest.

Modern Lida is one of the most important industrial centers of Belarus, the second largest city in the Grodno region.

Castle in Lida began to build in 1323. It was ready in 5 years. It was a new, modern for that time type of defensive structure - a knight's castel. It was based on high stone walls. During the troubled times, residents of neighboring villages found refuge in this fortress. The castle was built on a swamp, at the confluence of Kamenka and Lydea. Surrounded by water, it was practically impregnable. Now it has been restored and welcomes visitors.

Farny Church of the Exaltation of the Cross- the first of those built in Lida. Initially, the building was wooden and was located near the northern wall of the castle. The current building was built in 1765-1770, several tens of meters to the north. It was built of brick in the late Baroque style. Another attraction of the city is the Collegium and the Church of PRs in the classicism style.

History of the city of Lida.

A beautiful female name Lida is a city in the north-east of the Grodno region. So one would think, indulging in the romantic moods of the spring blooming time, basking in the sun and thinking about the time when in the fields in the middle of rye the pointed petals of cornflowers look directly into the sky without blinking, when the crimson sun at sunset embraces its wings soaring somewhere on its own business stork, but ... Since childhood, the familiar and so well-known to all of us, the name Lida has taken root in our area relatively recently - only in the 19th century. And the city, according to historians, definitely existed under its current name already in 1380. A venerable age for a "good girl lead" (c)? And yet, let me disagree with you!

Sundial.

Although the modern city that arose at the intersection of the tributaries of the picturesque Neman, Zhizhma, Lideika and Ditva is no less than 600 years old, and yet it is young! Walking along the street near the Lida hotel (which, by the way, stands now on Grunwald, and not Engels street, which has been renamed), we will see a sundial with you. They are not old, as in many monasteries in Russia, they are quite modern, which testifies to the love of the townspeople for their city. Indeed, why not put a sundial in the form of several turtles on a simple street. And here is the trade house nearby, in front of which a forged lion is installed, as if descended from the coat of arms of the city to see if everything is fine in his possessions and if anyone needs protection.

The architecture of the city of Lida.

It is necessary, in fairness, to note that the city, like many other cities in Belarus, is being renewed. The city center shines with freshly painted and soundly restored ancient churches, the crosses of which are carefully gilded by the May sun, highlighting them against the background of a clear blue sky, and with sharp shadows in the evening it emphasizes the architectural forms and splendor of the temples. Residents of the city slowly stroll in the newly created squares and parks, in which whatever city you come to, there is always a monument to the Belarusian enlightener F. Skaryna.

Monument to F. Skorina.

The country and the war in Afghanistan did not pass. So in Lida there is a monument to the Afghan warriors in the form of three cranes flying nearby. "Sometimes it seems to me that the soldiers from the bloody fields that did not come, did not fall into our land once, but turned into white cranes" (c).

Monument to soldiers - Afghans.

Lida Castle - Gedemina Castle.

And yet, let's remember a little about the very origins. In those distant times, when our ancestors, then still pagans, from the west were threatened with another attack in the form of various crusades of all kinds of knightly orders, wanting to live a little longer, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, as it could have tried to defend itself. And it should be noted that it defended itself not anyhow, but on a solid five. On its western border, it built many fortified castles that have absorbed all the power of ancient bricks and centuries-old boulders fired using a special technology. In this regard, one cannot but recall the 13th century military architecture monument standing on a high picturesque hill - and the castle in Vilna.

Monument to a business traveler near the Lida hotel.

It is a pity, of course, that you will never walk through these ancient halls that store portrait galleries, in which, from the ancestors to the present day, it was possible to trace, as they say, in persons the history of ancient clans. To see the faces of people who lived hundreds of years ago, defended or betrayed their homeland, and for nearly a thousand years, anything happened ... You can no longer walk through the pristine gallery of the courtyard under the cover of impenetrable darkness, which could only be in a non-electrified age, in anticipation only one thing - for the beloved shadow in the world to slide among the trees of the park towards the castle, and the wrong light of the moon gave the opportunity once again, even for short moments, to see the lovely features of the face.

Let's leave our lovers alone, who knows maybe tomorrow they will be separated by a retaliatory campaign to Europe to make it clear to the obsessive and mercantile crusaders that we do not bast soup, and if bast, then this is just our style), but for we will always be able to stand ourselves.

So she was called Lida. After all, you probably already understood that the name of the city comes from the name of the river - Lideyka. At the time when the city appeared, and this, as we remember, not later than 1380, the word "Lidimas" meant "a place freed from the forest." Indeed, there was a castle in a marshy lowland at the confluence of the Lideika and Kamenka rivers on an artificially filled hill. Its history is long and difficult, but I would like to note its outlines in the picturesque work of Józef Peszka.

Lida Castle, watercolor by Yu. Peshka 1808-1810

Like many castles in Belarus, Lida Castle has survived to this day in the form of picturesque ruins, in which an unforgettable atmosphere of antiquity reigned. And as always, at the sight of the ruins, I want to believe that a human has not set foot here for about 300 years and no boys climbed the highest remains of walls and towers to write for centuries - "Vasya 1951" or "TEODORY 1619", as in.

Gedemina Castle.

What happened to the many stone castles built to repel raids and hold back the onslaught of the Crusaders? Some of them:, and others were destroyed by order of Peter I during the war with the Swedes, when our troops could not hold these fortifications. Sadly, but true - the Belarusian castles got it. They got it during the war of 1812, Kreva got it during the First World War. They look at their thousand-year-old boulders almost to the base of the destroyed walls from the high hills of the castles and remember the years of their greatness, significance and splendor, their smooth courtyards are sown with yellow dandelion suns, as if our sun is looking into a broken mirror with a thousand fragments and is trying to console the old walls that have seen a lot in my lifetime.

The courtyard of the Gedemina Castle.

Lida Castle is our lucky one. Whether the name of the city is beautiful or not, what is the difference now, just restored the rectangle of walls with four towers at the corners, gave them a roof, planted emerald grass on the castle hill, built farm buildings in the courtyard of the castle, but now he receives guests in the form of excursions, though by prior arrangement, but ... Can you not agree that he is beautiful? "Good girl Lida lives on Yuzhnaya street" (c).

Mound of Glory.

The city of Lida, the mound of glory.

Fox remembers from that very first conscious tourist trip to Belarus, to a village known to many, that every fourth inhabitant of Belarus died in that terrible war, about which living witnesses and old-timers, waving their hands sadly, recall: “We don’t need this, we don’t need ... ". Here, on the Belarusian land, probably like nowhere else, the memory of the heroes is honored, although with a smile more than half a century later, we jokingly compare some silent man with a Belarusian partisan. We will go with you to the Lida mound of glory. Similarly, this mound was poured out of the earth, which was brought by front-line soldiers from different places of great battles, for example, from near Prokhorovka (Kursk Bulge), etc. Around the mound with an inclination towards the center, huge pillars are dug, similar to defensive fortifications against cavalry, protecting this land and people forever. This park is clean and well-groomed, a new bridge adorns Lideika. New benches throughout the park make it possible, while having a rest, once again taking a look at the mound, to remember those loved ones who were frozen forever on the battlefields of that war: fathers, grandfathers, and for some, great-grandfathers ...

In the middle of the day, in one of the villages of the Lida region, a quarrel broke out between the owner of the house and his drunken guest.
