Monument in honor of the warrior Prince, educator Konstantin Ostrogsky. Ostrogsky was born in Turov. At baptism he was named Vasily, but in honor of his father he called himself Konstantin. He became famous as a philanthropist. In 1572, with his assistance, a school was founded in his native Turov, in the late 1570s in Slutsk and Ostrog. The latter went down in history as the Ostrog Academy – the first higher education institution in Eastern Europe, where grammar, rhetoric, dialectics, arithmetic and geometry were taught. However, Konstantin Ostrogsky became the last of the Ostrog family of champions of the Orthodox faith. His children adopted the Catholic faith and were brought up in the Latin-Polish spirit.
