Throughout Belarus, you can find noble estates that once belonged to noble families or prominent figures who left their mark on history. The estates may be inferior in scale and splendor to castles and palaces, but they are not inferior to them in attractiveness, beauty and historical value. Moreover, it was often in these estates that events that mattered for the whole country unfolded! Today, ancient Belarusian manors appear before visitors in different guises. Some of them have been restored and have become museums. Others are gradually finding a new life thanks to the efforts of the state or private investors. And still others are literally "soaked" in history and so far only keep the echoes of former luxury, waiting for their turn to be reborn. We invite you to discover the world of ancient manors of Belarus!&nbsp;

This noble estate is associated with the name of the great Belarusian and Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz. It so happened that Marylia Vereshchaka, whom A. Mickiewicz was in love with, unwillingly married Count Wawrzync Puttkammer. Adam Mickiewicz often came here to Boltiniki to visit, and the lovers often walked around the neighborhood. A boulder has been preserved in the nearby forest, which is called the "Mickiewicz stone". There is a cross carved on the stone, and according to legend, this cross was carved by A. Mickiewicz when Marylia did not come on a date.
