Pinsk is a city located in Brest Region of Belarus, in the Polesia region, at the confluence of the Pina River and the Pripyat River. The region was known as the Marsh of Pinsk and is southwest of Minsk. The population is 138,415.

The historic city has a restored city centre, with two-story buildings from the 19th century and the early 20th century. The centre has become an active place for youths of all ages with summer theme parks and a new association football stadium, which houses the city's football club, FC Volna Pinsk.

Three main sights of the town are lined along the river: the Assumption Cathedral of the Monastery of the Greyfriars (1712-1730), with a campanile from 1817, the Jesuit collegium (1635-1648); a large Mannerist complex, whose cathedral was demolished after World War II by communists; and the Butrymowicz Palace (1784-1790), built for Mateusz Butrymowicz, an important political and economical figure of Pinsk and Polesie. The Church of St. Charles Borromeo (1770-1782) and St. Barbara Cathedral of the Monastery of the St. Bernard Order (1786-1787) are placed near historic centre in the former Karolin suburb, which is now part of Pinsk.
