Description

The town of Leonpol has been known since the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania as the manor of the Lopatinsky family. The palace was built in the 18th century in the Baroque style with Rococo elements. A terraced park, a water canal and 2 outbuildings with entrance gates were created nearby.

After Lopatinsky's participation in the anti-Russian uprising in the 19th century, the estate was confiscated. At the beginning of the 20th century, a Catholic church was established in the palace. After the war, a dispensary was placed in the palace. Now the estate is looking for a new owner.

Leonpol. Lopatinsky Manor.

There are several historical monuments in the town of Leonpol. In the 18th century, Nikolai Tadeusz Lopatinsky built a Baroque palace here and laid a French-style park nearby. On the opposite side of the palace there was a stone gate. The palace was built according to the project of the Italian architect Abraham Anthony Genu. 


For Lopatinsky's participation in the anti–Russian uprising of 1830-1831, the estate was looted and confiscated.

Since 1919, the palace has been renovated and there was a Catholic church here. A former ballroom was set aside for a prayer hall. The enfilade system in the building was rebuilt as a corridor.

In the 1920s, a signature with a cross was added to the main facade with a pediment.


The palace and park ensemble has a symmetrical axial composition. The dominant place is occupied by the palace. In the 19th century, an entrance gate in the classical style using the Doric order was built on the same axis with the palace.


The Lopatinsky Palace is a stone one-storey building with a symmetrical composition, having a two-storey central part. The building is covered with a gable roof and has shaped gables at the ends. The palace is built on a high plinth. A wide staircase with a terrace leads to the main entrance to the building. The design of the palace uses Rococo decor, rustication and more. Before the reconstruction of the palace, the main hall and lobby were on the ground floor, and the living rooms of the owners were located on the second floor.


A one-storey stone wing and the remains of a Terraced Park, which previously surrounded a water channel, have been preserved behind the house.

In Soviet times, there was a dispensary in the manor.
