Kuntsevschina. The economic yard of the Voynilovich estate.
In the village of Kuntsevschina, Kletsk district, the economic yard of the Voynilovich estate has been preserved. At the beginning of the 19th century, there was a manor owned by Xavier Voynilovich. The Voynilovichi are an ancient Belarusian family that has been known since the 15th century.
Voynilovich built a stone one-story palace and several outbuildings in the estate. There was a small pond and a park.
At the beginning of the 20th century, during the time of the Russian Empire, another Xavier Voynilovich built several outbuildings. At that time, the palace housed a collection of paintings and a collection of musical instruments. There was also a large library. Xavier Voynilovich's wife died very young at the age of 26, and left a young son, Josef.
After the Soviet–Polish war and the Peace of Riga in 1921, part of the town passed to the Polish state by 1939, and part remained to the Soviet Union. After the arrival of Soviet troops in the Polish part of the town in 1939, the Voynilovichi were arrested and exiled to Siberia.
Several outbuildings and a distillery have been preserved. The building is made of red brick stone, two-storied. Covered gable roof. On the front of the building there is the date of construction "1906" and the initials "X". W", which translates as Xavier Voynilovich.
