History
Within the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, Astravyets was part of Vilnius Voivodeship. In 1474, Voivode of Kyiv Martynas Goštautas founded a Dominican monastery and church. By decree of King Sigismund II Augustus from 1537, the town passed to Stanislovas Goštautas, and later on it passed to the Korycki and Korsak noble families.
