Dikushki. The ruins of the Grabovsky estate.

The first owner of the estate in Dikushki was Raphael Felicianovich Grabovsky. The manor complex of the estate included a residential building, outbuildings, as well as a well-maintained park. It was the residence for the Grabowski family, who owned a number of lands in the area. The Grabovskis also built a stone temple, a tavern and stables here. At that time, the estate was not only an economic center, but also a place of cultural and social events.

The manor house, the ruins of which we see today in Dikushki, was built by the new owner of the estate by the name of Mineyko. He built it in the classical style, according to rumors, after the First World War. Only the facade, decorated with a semicircular colonnade, actually survived from the house. However, the building still surprises with its scope and surviving elements of the exterior decor. The remaining massive columns, according to existing information, were brought to the estate from Vilna.

In 1939, Mineyko left Dikushki. After the Second World War, the building was partially used for the heads of a certain agricultural enterprise, in the Soviet years there was a club here.

Then the building was abandoned and dilapidated for a long time. Unfortunately, over time, the estate fell into disrepair.

Today, the ruins of the Grabovsky estate attract the attention of both tourists and historians. The ruined walls, overgrown garden and abandoned buildings are clear evidence of past greatness. Despite this, the place still retains its atmosphere and the memory of the old days.

Not far from the ruins of the manor house, such outbuildings as a barn and a blacksmith shop have been preserved. Surprisingly, their condition is not bad, much better than at home.

People from all over Belarus come to see these beautiful sights in the village of Dikushki. This is a beautiful authentic place for lovers of ruins - explorers and tourists who want to see and feel the atmosphere of the past.

The Grabovsky Manor in Dikushki is not only a ruin, but also a symbol of history, beauty and cultural values that remind us of our roots and lost heritage.
