Summary/Abstract: In the article the author outlines a history of the Salesian Minor Seminary of Don Bosco in Reginów by the Szczara River. The period of Salesian activity in this region covers the 1930s of the twentieth century. The author described in detail the history of the manor house in Reginów and family connections of the donors – families of Baliński and Jundziłło. The Missionary Seminary, which commenced education of boys in 1937, existed only for two years and closed its activity with the outbreak of World War II. After the war, Salesians never returned there, while Reginów was incorporated into Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic (now the Republic of Belarus).
