Amazing host who showed us around, he was knowledgeable, entertaining and warm. My partner really enjoyed the tasting, even though I did not take part, I found it an interesting and great experience. Will be returning!

Nice distillery. Even the narrow road to the distillery itself is worth seeing. :-)

Due to the very friendly and helpful staff from the visitor center a trip to Bunnahabhain is always worth a visit. With the wide rage of flavour properties Bunnahabhain is my favourite whisky, the staff advice their customers very well before they could make a buying decision without any hustle - here the customer is still king.

I already loved these whiskies. The tour they gave me, confirmed my feeling. An absolutely fantastic tour! I had the opportunity to try some different unique whiskies. A very nice experience. Thank you so much girls! Jules

Kalozha Church

The Kalozha church of Saints Boris and Gleb is the oldest extant structure in Hrodna. It is the only surviving monument of ancient Black Ruthenian architecture, distinguished from other Orthodox churches by prolific use of polychrome faceted stones of blue, green or red tint which could be arranged to form crosses or other figures on the wall.

The church is a cross-domed building supported by six circular pillars. The outside is articulated with projecting pilasters, which have rounded corners, as does the building itself. The ante-nave contains the choir loft, accessed by a narrow gradatory in the western wall. Two other stairs were discovered in the walls of the side apses; their purpose is not clear. The floor is lined with ceramic tiles forming decorative patterns. The interior was lined with innumerable built-in pitchers, which usually serve in Eastern Orthodox churches as resonators but in this case were scored to produce decorative effects. For this reason, the central nave has never been painted.

The church was built before 1183 and survived intact, depicted in the 1840s by Michał Kulesza, until 1853, when the south wall collapsed, due to its perilous location on the high bank of the Neman. During restoration works, some fragments of 12th-century frescoes were discovered in the apses. Remains of four other churches in the same style, decorated with pitchers and coloured stones instead of frescoes, were discovered in Hrodna and Vaŭkavysk. They all date back to the turn of the 13th century, as do remains of the first stone palace in the Old Hrodna Castle.

In 2004, the church was included in the Tentative List of UNESCO"s World Heritage Sites.
