First Public Toilet in Minsk

2 min. to read

The first public toilet in Minsk, built in 1912 in Alexander Square, is an interesting example of small architectural form in the "Empire" style. Legend has it that its creation is linked to a wealthy townsman who did not pay a young architect for the design of his country estate. The offended master, having received an order from the city authorities to build a toilet, decided to take revenge on his offender. When the building was erected, the toilet turned out to be a scaled-down copy of the manor house, becoming a symbol of bitter revenge. The toilet was constructed near the city theater, which opened its doors in 1906. Since then, for more than a hundred years, this toilet has served its primary purpose, remaining the oldest in the city. Due to its unique appearance and historical significance, it has attracted the attention and interest of both locals and tourists. In 2014, the toilet was converted into ticket offices for the Kupala Theater, located nearby. Now visitors can purchase tickets for performances here, as well as souvenirs and literature about the theater. The ticket offices operate daily from 10:00 to 20:00, providing residents and guests of the city convenient access to cultural events.
