They say he lives either in the Laplands or in Russia, in the town of Veliki Ustjug.

Today, it is a disputable point — the residence of Father Frost, the local equivalent to Santa Claus, has been recreated in the immense forest range of the Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park.

The estate of the Lapland Santa Klaus and the possessions of Russia's Father Frost in Veliki Ustjug cannot compete with a fabulous manor located on fifteen hectares in the midst of virgin and pristine Belarusian forests.

This new cultural and tourist site has organically enlarged the infrastructure of the whole tourist complex of the Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park and started a new tradition of meeting the New Year holidays for children and grown–ups. Now, the opportunity to be accommodated in comfortable hotels and guesthouses, to try the specialities of the Belarusian cuisine made of game, to walk along the ecological paths, to enjoy a wide range of recreation services has been expanded by giving visitors a chance of entering the world of fairy tales.

The residence includes the Father Frost's manor–house itself, the Snowwhite's House, the museum of Father Frost, a wind mill, a magic well, wooden sculptured figures “Twelve Months,” “Snowwhite and Seven Dwarfs,” and a number of shopping, service and recreational facilities. The tallest in Europe, a 40–metre high natural Christmas fur–tree has been installed on the territory of the residence.

The Father Frost's residence is open throughout the year from 9 a.m. till 11 p.m. without days–off. Guided tours service is available.

The postal address of the Father Frost's residence is: post office Kamenyuki, 225063, Kamenets District, Brest Region, Belarus.
