On the memorable places of the Puslovsky family.

The Puslovsky family are famous landowners and philanthropists whose work has left a deep mark on the history and culture of the western lands of Belarus.

During the 19th century, representatives of this noble family actively developed their vast possessions, erecting palaces, temples and industrial enterprises, many of which became important architectural monuments.

The family reached its peak thanks to Wojciech Puslovsky (1762-1833), a privy councilor, a skilled financier and economist. Owning estates in Kossovo, Peski, Svisloch and Albertin near Slonim, he laid the foundation for the family's prosperity.

His sons continued their father's endeavors.

The most famous is Vandalin Puslovsky (1814-1884), an avid collector and philanthropist, on whose initiative the famous Neo-Gothic palace in Kossovo, often called the "knight's dream", was built.

Another son, Xavier, became famous as a philanthropist and patron of the arts.

The Puslovskys not only built luxurious estates, but also contributed to the development of infrastructure: they founded cloth and carpet manufactories, starch and breweries.

They also donated funds for the construction and restoration of religious buildings — Orthodox and Catholic churches and even a mosque in Slonim, demonstrating religious tolerance. In their courts, as, for example, in the estate of Marta Puslovskaya in Svisloch, there were secular salons that gathered the cultural elite.

The heritage of the Puslovskys, preserved in the form of palace complexes, parks, temples and industrial buildings, is an integral part of the historical and cultural heritage of Belarus and vividly testifies to the contribution of this kind to the development of the region.
