Village Raszyn

Written sources mention a church in 1588, 1634, and 1640 (Information from the book Cities and Villages of Belarus). From 1795, it was part of the Russian Empire, in the Kobryn district of the Slonim province, from 1797 in the Lithuanian province, and from 1801 in the Grodno province. The village on Schubert’s map from 1826-1840, as we can see on this map and subsequent ones, had two settlements, Raszyn (Rasen) Stary and Nowy, and towards the end of the 1900s, they merged into one village on the site of Stary Raszyn.
