In the city there are several magnificent palaces, one of the most beautiful is considered to be Branicki palace. Built in the 17th century, it is a striking piece of architecture in the style of late baroque. According to historical records, the first red bricked castle was build in its place as early as the 16th century. Subsequently, it was destroyed and on its place was built a large palace, which has long belonged to the Branicki family. Like many years ago, the architectural monument impresses with its incredible view. It is surrounded by a large landscaped garden with a variety of interesting jewellery and sculptures.
Among the religious attractions of Bialystok Church of St. Roch is worth of mention, it is located at the top of the hill of the same name. Construction of the temple began in 1925, but was unable to be completed before the start of the Second World War. During the war, soldiers' barracks were located in the temple buildings; only by 1945 the Catholic church was finally built. Attitude to the temple differs amongst the locals to this day; in the early 20th century it was decided to build on the site of the old cemetery. Despite the insists of the locals to move the church to another place, their requests were not met.
