In the heart of the picturesque <a href="https://findit.city/en/belarus/minsk/leisure/recreation/parks/5/description">Loshitsky Park</a> stands one of the oldest and most significant structures – the <b>watermill</b>, built in 1901 by master Evstafy Lyubansky. This mill, now a cultural heritage site, not only immerses visitors in the atmosphere of the past but also draws attention with its unique architecture and history.

Once, a residential house stood here, but in the late 1970s, its residents dismantled a significant part of the mill, using the old bricks to build their garages. Some of these garages may still be found in the surroundings of Serebryanka, adding an interesting touch to the history of this place.

The watermill, surrounded by greenery and located on the banks of the Svisloch River, now lies in ruins, partially damaged by vandals. Despite this, it remains one of the most photographed and popular spots in the park. Here, you can see the remnants of beautiful brick walls and also appreciate the "school" inscriptions left by previous visitors.

While strolling through the park, you can also enjoy the 18th-century lime alley and make a wish by the majestic 400-year-old oak tree, which adds a special atmosphere to this picturesque corner. The watermill, despite its abandonment, holds many secrets and stories, making Loshitsky Park a place worth visiting to enjoy nature and delve into the rich cultural history of Minsk.
