Kossava (Косава) is a town in the Brest region of Belarus, located about 300 kilometers southwest of the capital Minsk, near the Polish border, and known for its rich historical heritage and natural beauty. The town's most famous landmark is the 19th-century Kossava Palace - a neo-Gothic-style aristocratic manor house that was once home to the Polish aristocratic Pacz family and is now open to the public as a museum showcasing the history of Belarusian aristocratic life and local folklore. Surrounded by lush forests and tranquil rivers, it is an ideal destination for hiking and eco-tourism.
