Blon'. Bonch-Osmolovsky Manor.

The manor in Blon' is the former residence of the Bak family since the beginning of the 19th century. Adam Bak, the treasurer of the Mstislav province, and his descendants left a significant mark on the history of this place. His son Joseph, known as a Catholic missionary, poet and preacher, built a wooden church on the estate back in the 18th century. According to existing local legends, it was connected to the Jesuit mission house by underground passages.

In the middle of the 19th century, the possessions passed to Poninsky, and then to Ossovsky family. After the latter's participation in the uprising of 1863, the estate was confiscated and handed over to the official Bonch-Osmolovsky. In 1879, the estate was taken over by his son Alexander, who was expelled from St. Petersburg University for participating in student riots and exiled to his homeland under supervision. After his father's death, A. Bonch-Osmolovsky inherited the estate on condition not to sell or encumber it. Blonie remained in the possession of the family until 1917.

The formation of the modern manor mainly took place under the Ossovskys. Under their leadership, the estate was transformed, an extensive library with revolutionary literature was assembled, and literacy training was conducted for children from poor families. Presumably, it was they who transformed the former Jesuit residence into a residential mansion of a new era.

During the Second World War and the Patriotic War, the building survived and was almost not damaged. Then the estate served as an ordinary dwelling for a certain time, after its building was transformed into factory premises.

Nowadays, this building serves as the home for the Pukhovichi Regional Museum of Local Lore.

In 2012, the estate was visited by the descendants of the Bonch-Osmolovskys from different parts of the world including Russia, North America and Germany. Also, the study of one of her family members, which now occupies the former estate, was restored specifically for the Museum of local lore.

In addition, the museum has halls unrelated to the Bonch-Osmolovsky family. Some, for example, are devoted to the finds of the Iron Age and the Middle Ages in the territory of the modern Pukhovichi district. Other halls are dedicated to the culture and traditions of the area. There is an exhibition with a military theme. Some of the exhibitions are also dedicated to creative and interesting personalities, such as Yakub Kolas.
