General presentation
Pinsk et la Polésie
Baroque facades, Pripiat and vast marshland give Pinsk a unique riveric atmosphere.
College of Jesuits of Pinsk, Franciscan Convent and Marais of Pripiat give the most eloquent landmarks of Pinsk and Polesia. Together, they form a destination where urban life, riverscapes, wetlands and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform setting.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: travel currently formally not recommended by France Diplomacy and formalities, access and conditions of visit to check before any project. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Couvent franciscain
The Franciscan ensemble combines baroque church, cloister and historic organ; its clear volumes form one of the best preserved silhouettes of the old town.
