Kirova Street is one of the oldest and historically significant streets in Pinsk, located in the former suburb of Karolin, founded at the end of the 17th century. Previously, it bore the names Bolshaya Karolinskaya, Kupecheskaya, and in 1921–1939 — Albrekhtovskaya. The architectural appearance of the street is shaped by buildings from different eras: here you can see two-story houses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, buildings from the Soviet period of the 1940s–1950s, and modern nine-story buildings. The main architectural gem of the street is the former Church of St. Charles Borromeo (No. 37), built in 1770–1782 in the Baroque style — the only church of the Bartholomite order in Belarus. Today, this building houses a concert hall. The street also preserves the memory of tragic pages of history: in building No. 1, during the occupation, there was a Jewish ghetto, and later banking institutions were located there. Building No. 22 (the former police station) was converted into a school after the war, which operated there until 1957. House No. 29, built at the beginning of the 20th century by the Pinsk townsman Liberman, was originally used as a bakery with a shop, and after reconstruction, a confectionery production facility was again located there.
