Centre for Children
Supraśl
The Lungs of Poland
Located in the midst of the so-called Lungs of Poland, Supraśl received the status of a health resort town in 1999. Hence, without a shadow of a doubt, it is the most appropriate location for the Centre for Children.
The Merkaba Foundation Centre for Children
0.7ha
of a beautiful building plot
The building plot borders a picturesque alley, called Rymarka street, which turns into a major woodland path on one side, and the Knyszyn forest on the other.
Slightly elevated, it offers a clear view of Monastery buildings located some distance away.
Supraśl
– a healing place for the body and the soul
A cultural melting pot
If you ever come here, lest you forget a unique taste of the local cuisine. A convergence of Lithuanian, Tatar and Podlasie dishes will be a true delight for the most demanding palates.
The place has a picturesque landscape with hills and vast ancient woods that create an enchanting health-benefiting microclimate.
Monastery
Founded by the Hetman of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Aleksander Chodkiewicz and the Orthodox Christian Bishop, Józef Sołtan.
Take a deep breath
It is a historical town located Podlasie region, 15 km away from Białystok, surrounded at every side by Knyszyn Forest.
History and monuments
The history of Supraśl goes back to 1500, when the first sacral buildings were erected.
What is there to see? The Monastery, the Evangelical Protestant Cemetery and the wonderful Buccholtz Palace, which is now occupied by the School of the Arts.
The Land of Podlasie
In summer, the body of flowing water is a popular bathing spot for locals and tourists who come to visit the place all year round.
Our plans
We shall offer educational and therapeutic facilities as well as the gym, dance, yoga and meditation rooms at the Centre. Children will benefit from the company of animals; horses, sheep and goats. Eggs will be picked from henhouses full of cheerfully chuckling ‘happy’ hens. Children will plant flowers, fruit and vegetables, which will later be used to cook together in the kitchen. They will dine at a dining room of magnificent proportions. We hope to see children come here for trips, summer or school camps and on short term visits.
Here, in Supraśl, they will become acquainted with the local flora and fauna alike… They will begin a new journey into a happier life. May the memories of their time at the Centre in Supraśl stay with them for many years to come.
