\n\tThe fortifications of  the First World War period are scattered around the territory of our country from north to sough — from the Postavy town and lake Naroch, through Smorgon, Krevo, Baranovichi and Pinsk.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis war lasted for four years and became one of the most terrible catastrophes of the 20th century. In the summer of 1915 it came to our land and stayed here for two and a half years. Almost a quarter of the present-day Belarus was under the German occupation and the rest was the frontline territory of the Russian Empire. The front line between the Austro-German and the Russian troops occupied 400 km of the Belorussian territories.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring the trench war from 1915 to 1917 the opposing Empires built fortifications throughout hundreds of kilometres on the both sides of the front line, and many of them are still preserved now. German concrete bunkers and command-and-observation posts near Baranovichi, where an important battle between the Russian and the Austro-German troops took place in the summer of 1916, are in especially good condition.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the territory of our complex you may see a German observation bunker, which was demounted from one of reinforced concrete structures close to the Maloe Podlesye village near Baranovichi. It stands here as a silent witness of the events which took place here 100 years ago during the First World War. <\/p>\n
